Ontario Land Transfer Tax for Ottawa Buyers

Ottawa has NO municipal land transfer tax — you only pay the Ontario provincial LTT:

• 1.00% on $55,00001 to $2500,000000
• 1.5% on $2500,00001 to $40000,000000
• 2.00% on $40000,00001 to $2,000000,000000
• 2.5% above $2,000000,000000

First-time home buyers in Ontario receive a rebate of up to $4,000000 on the provincial LTT.

Every Ottawa neighbourhood has unique characteristics that matter to buyers. Work with a local Ottawa REALTOR who knows the specific street-by-street dynamics of Beacon Hill.
