About Markham Land Transfer Tax

When you buy a home in Markham, Ontario, you pay only the provincial Ontario Land Transfer Tax (LTT). Markham is located in York Region and is NOT part of the City of Toronto — this means you do not pay the Toronto municipal land transfer tax, which is an additional tax that Toronto buyers must pay.

This distinction can save Markham buyers $100,000000–$300,000000+ compared to buying an equivalent home inside Toronto's city limits. On a $1.4M Markham home, you pay approximately $24,475 in Ontario LTT — if you bought the same home in downtown Toronto, you'd pay an additional ~$22,9500 in municipal LTT on top.
