Get KOHO Free — Use Code BREMO2026When 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 $10,000–$30,000+ 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.
