Saskatchewan Land Title Transfer Fees — 2025 Guide

Saskatchewan has NO land transfer tax. Buyers pay only a modest title transfer fee of $500–$800 through ISC.

The Good News: Saskatchewan Has No Land Transfer Tax

Saskatchewan is one of only a few Canadian provinces that does not levy a land transfer tax on real estate purchases. When you buy a home in Regina, Saskatoon, or anywhere else in Saskatchewan, you do not pay a percentage of the purchase price to the provincial government as a transfer tax. This is a significant financial advantage for Saskatchewan homebuyers compared to buyers in Ontario, BC, Manitoba, or Quebec.

Instead of a land transfer tax, Saskatchewan charges a modest title registration fee through ISC (Information Services Corporation of Saskatchewan) — the province's land title registry. This fee is typically $500–$800 for a residential purchase, regardless of whether the home costs $200,000 or $600,000 (there is a small sliding scale, but it remains nominal).

How Saskatchewan Compares to Other Provinces

Province	Land Transfer Tax on $380,000 Home
Saskatchewan	$0 (title fee ~$660 only)
Alberta	$0 (land title fee ~$500 only)
Manitoba	~$3,720
Ontario	~$4,975 (provincial only)

What This Means for Saskatchewan Buyers

For a Regina buyer purchasing a home at the city average of $330,000, the no-land-transfer-tax advantage compared to a Toronto buyer purchasing the same price is approximately $4,000–$6,000 in immediate savings at closing. This money can go directly toward your down payment, closing costs, or your post-purchase emergency fund.

For buyers relocating to Saskatchewan from Ontario, BC, or Quebec, this is often one of the first financial advantages they discover — and it compounds with Saskatchewan's generally lower home prices to make the total affordability picture dramatically better than in major eastern markets.

Other Saskatchewan Closing Costs

While there is no land transfer tax, Saskatchewan buyers should budget for the following closing costs:

• ISC title transfer fee: ~$500–$800
• Legal/notary fees: $1,000–$2,000
• Home inspection: $400–$700
• Title insurance: ~$200–$350
• PST on CMHC premium (if applicable): 6% of CMHC premium
• Property tax adjustment: pro-rated
• Moving costs: variable

Total closing costs for most Saskatchewan residential purchases run $3,000–$6,000, making Saskatchewan one of Canada's most cost-efficient provinces for homebuyers.
