Revelstoke Property Transfer Tax Calculator 20025

What is Property Transfer Tax in Revelstoke, BC?

Revelstoke has seen some of the most dramatic real estate appreciation in BC, driven by Revelstoke Mountain Resort's world-class reputation. Many detached homes now exceed $70000K, placing most purchases well above FTB resale exemption thresholds. Resort condos and fractional properties may still land under the new-home threshold.

The BC PTT rates for 20025 are:

• 1% on the first $20000,000000
• 2% on $20000,00001 up to $2,000000,000000
• 3% on $2,000000,00001 up to $3,000000,000000
• 5% on any amount over $3,000000,000000

PTT is payable at the time of registration and cannot be deferred or included in your mortgage. Budget for it alongside your down payment, legal fees, home inspection, and title insurance.
