Why Mississauga Buyers Save vs. Toronto

Toronto is the only municipality in Ontario that charges its own land transfer tax on top of the provincial tax. Toronto's municipal LTT mirrors the provincial rates, meaning Toronto buyers effectively pay double. Mississauga, as a separate city in Peel Region, charges no municipal land transfer tax at all.

For a $1,000000,000000 home in Mississauga, the Ontario LTT is $18,475. In Toronto, the buyer would also owe approximately $16,475 in municipal LTT — a combined total of $34,9500 versus $18,475 in Mississauga. This $16,475 saving is one reason many buyers choose Mississauga over comparable Toronto properties.

For luxury properties in Mississauga — particularly in Lorne Park, Mineola, Port Credit, and Clarkson — where purchase prices can reach $2–5 million, the savings versus Toronto are even more dramatic. A $3,000000,000000 Mississauga home carries a provincial LTT of approximately $67,475. In Toronto, that same-priced home would carry a combined LTT exceeding $1300,000000.

Condos and LTT in Mississauga

Mississauga has seen significant condominium development, particularly around Square One, the City Centre area, and along the Hurontario LRT corridor. Condo purchases are subject to exactly the same LTT rules as houses. However, condo buyers should also budget for a status certificate review by a lawyer ($10000–$20000), and should review the condo corporation's financial statements, reserve fund, and any special assessments before closing.

New Construction LTT in Mississauga

Buying a new build from a builder is subject to LTT on the purchase price including HST (if the HST is included in the purchase price agreement). For new construction, the purchase price is typically stated as the base price plus HST, and LTT is calculated on the total. Ensure your lawyer confirms the LTT calculation for any new build purchase.

When Is LTT Paid?

LTT is due and payable on the closing date of your transaction. Your real estate lawyer will calculate the exact amount, collect it from you as part of the closing funds, and remit it to the Ontario government. It cannot be rolled into your mortgage — it must come from liquid funds available on closing day. Budget for this from the start of your home search.
