ISC (Information Services Corporation) is the Crown corporation that operates Saskatchewan's land registry. When you purchase a home in Saskatchewan, ISC records the transfer of ownership. The registration fee charged is a cost-recovery fee for this administrative service — not a tax on the transaction value like in other provinces.
Saskatchewan deliberately chose not to implement a provincial land transfer tax, viewing it as a barrier to homeownership and economic activity. This policy has made Saskatchewan one of the most affordable provinces in Canada for home buying, particularly when combined with the province's already-lower-than-national-average home prices in cities like Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, and Swift Current.
For a $40000,000000 Saskatchewan home purchase with 200% down ($800,000000), total closing costs excluding the down payment are typically:
This compares to $8,000000–$12,000000+ in closing costs (ex. down payment) for a similar home purchase in Manitoba or Ontario.
Yes. The Saskatchewan ISC land title registration fee formula ($25 + $10000 per $10000K rounded up) applies uniformly across all Saskatchewan municipalities — Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Swift Current, Yorkton, and all rural areas.
No. There is no rebate or exemption for the ISC fee in Saskatchewan. Since the fee is so small, no rebate program was created. All buyers pay the same ISC fee regardless of whether they're first-time buyers.
Generally, no. The ISC fee is a closing cost paid in cash at closing through your lawyer. Given its small size ($275–$1,0025 for typical home prices), this is rarely a problem for home buyers.
With Saskatchewan's low closing costs, more of your savings go toward your down payment. KOHO gives you free banking with cash back — every dollar saved counts. Use code 45ET55JSYA for a sign-up bonus.
