Manitoba First-Time Buyer LTT Rebate

The Manitoba FTB rebate is deliberately targeted at new construction to stimulate housing supply. Unlike Ontario's rebate which applies to resale homes too, Manitoba's rebate only benefits buyers of newly built properties. This is an important distinction when planning your home purchase in Winnipeg, Brandon, or elsewhere in Manitoba.

When and How to Pay Manitoba LTT

Manitoba land transfer tax is paid at closing through your real estate lawyer or notary. You do not pay it directly to the province — your lawyer calculates, collects, and remits it on your behalf as part of closing costs. The LTT must be paid in cash (from your down payment/closing funds) and cannot be mortgaged.

When budgeting for a Manitoba home purchase, always include LTT in your closing cost estimates along with legal fees ($1,200–$2,500), home inspection ($350–$600), and title insurance ($200–$400).
