Critical note for Brock Township: Lake Simcoe waterfront properties and former cottage/recreational properties generally do not qualify for the First-Time Buyer rebate, even if you intend to make them your primary residence. Ice fishing cabins, boathouses, and seasonal dwellings converted to year-round use are especially scrutinized. Always confirm eligibility with your real estate lawyer before closing.
