Prince George PTT FAQs

What is the PTT on an average Prince George home?
With an average home price of ~$440,000, a general buyer pays about $6,800 in PTT. A first-time buyer on a resale under $500,000 pays $0.
Can I get a PTT refund in Prince George?
You don't get a refund — you apply for the exemption at the time of property registration through your notary or lawyer. First-time buyers on eligible purchases pay reduced or zero PTT at closing.
Is the PTT the only tax on buying a home in Prince George?
PTT is the main transfer tax. New homes may also be subject to GST (5%), though new home rebates can offset much of this. There's no municipal land transfer tax in BC (unlike Toronto and other Ontario cities).
Do I pay PTT on a newly built home in Prince George?
Yes, PTT applies to new homes in Prince George. However, first-time buyers on new homes up to $835,000 qualify for full PTT exemption — valuable since new home prices are often higher than resale.
