Ontario Land Transfer Tax Calculator

Home buyers in most large Canadian centres have to add Land Transfer Taxes ("LTT") to their list of closing costs. Unless you live in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or rural Nova Scotia, Land Transfer Taxes (or property purchase taxes) are a basic fact of life.

Land Transfer Taxes, levied on properties changing hands, are the responsibility of the purchaser. Depending on where you live, the taxes can range from 0.5% to 2.5% of the total value of the property.
Use my Land Transfer Tax Calculator Tool below to estimate the LTT on your residential or commercial property purchase.

Many provinces have multi-tiered taxation systems and these can be complicated. If you purchase a property for $260,000 in Ontario, for example, 0.5% is charged on the first $55,000; 1% is charged on $55,000 to $250,000, and 1.5% is charged on $250,000 to $400,000.

More information is available on Ontario Land Transfer Tax information page, or you can visit the Ontario Minister of Revenue Website and refer to Ontario Tax Bulletin LTT 4-2003.

Effective April 21, 2017, a 15% Non-Resident Speculation Tax is imposed on the purchase or acquisition of an interest in residential property located in the Greater Golden Horseshoe by individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of Canada or by foreign corporations (foreign entities) or taxable trustees. This new tax is in addition to Ontario's current Land Transfer Tax.

Kim did a fantastic job of helping me sell my home on a time crunch. She made sure to always keep me updated which really helped during my first time selling. I also highly recommend the team she used to stage my home. They were very professional and made my home look straight out of a magazine! All together, I am happy with my experience and would recommend the VanDinther team to my friends.

We worked with Kim to buy our first home and to say it was a fantastic experience is an understatement! Kim is so helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. We felt so supported and reassured throughout the entire process. She truly goes above and beyond. We cannot recommend this team enough!!

We had the pleasure of working with Lori and Kim in selling our current home and finding our new home. It was all done very quickly and easily with the help of this great team! Response time from them was always immediate. Negations through the entire process were handled extremely well and a lot of hard work was put in by both Lori and Kim. We would highly recommend them to all our friends and family. Thanks to both of you for a job well done! We are so happy!

We had the pleasure of working with all three Morgan, Lori, and Kim as first time buyers. The team was always available to answer our questions and gave great advice. Thanks to them, we got our dream starter home after looking for only a few weeks. Would highly recommend the team to anyone looking to buy/sell in the area. Thank you Van Dinther team!!
