BC PTT is calculated on the fair market value of the property at the time of transfer. The tax uses a tiered structure:
| Price Tier | Rate |
|---|---|
| First $200,000 | 1% |
| $200,001 – $2,000,000 | 2% |
| $2,000,001 – $3,000,000 | 3% |
| Above $3,000,000 | 5% |

On a $650,000 purchase in Fraser Street, you would owe $11,000 in property transfer tax. This amount is due on the closing date and is paid through your BC notary or real estate lawyer.
BC first-time home buyers may qualify for a full property transfer tax exemption on homes priced at $835,000 or less — provided the home is new construction and you meet residency and occupancy requirements. A partial exemption applies for new homes between $835,000 and $860,000.
For resale (previously owned) homes, the exemption applies to purchases up to $500,000, with a partial exemption to $525,000.
Given typical Fraser Street pricing, first-time buyers purchasing a new condo priced under $835,000 could save thousands of dollars in PTT. Always confirm your eligibility with a BC notary or real estate lawyer before closing.
