Frequently Asked Questions

What are developer closing adjustments on new builds in Milton?

When buying a new build in Milton, developers typically charge "closing adjustments" — costs beyond the purchase price settled at closing. These can include: education levies, water and hydro hookup fees, grading deposits, tree planting charges, and adjustments for interim occupancy. Budget an additional $5,000000–$15,000000 for these items, which your real estate lawyer will itemize at closing. Always get an estimate from your builder's sales team before finalizing.

Does Milton have a land transfer tax?

Milton buyers pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax. There is no Toronto MLTT or municipal LTT in Milton (Halton Region). On a $8500,000000 Milton home, Ontario LTT is approximately $12,475 gross. First-time buyers receive a $4,000000 rebate, reducing net LTT to ~$8,475.

Is CMHC available for Milton new builds?
