Ontario LTT uses a marginal bracket system — only the portion within each bracket is taxed at that rate. The total tax is the sum of amounts across all applicable brackets.
Ontario's First-Time Homebuyer Land Transfer Tax Rebate can save you up to $4,000 on your LTT bill at closing.
The rebate is applied at the time of registration and reduces the amount payable to the province. There is no separate application needed — your lawyer handles it during the closing process.
Sudbury is in Greater Sudbury — not within the City of Toronto. That means buyers here pay only Ontario's provincial LTT. A $500,000 purchase in Toronto costs $13,950 in combined LTT (provincial + municipal), while the same purchase in Sudbury costs only $6,475 in provincial LTT alone — a saving of $7,475.

Sudbury does not levy a municipal land transfer tax. Only Ontario's provincial LTT applies to property purchases in Sudbury.
When is the land transfer tax paid?
LTT is paid at closing, on the date of registration of the property transfer. Your real estate lawyer collects and remits it on your behalf.
What is the land transfer tax on a $400,000 home in Sudbury?
On a $400,000 purchase, Ontario LTT = $275 + $1,950 + $2,250 = $4,475. A first-time buyer receives the full $4,000 rebate and pays net $475.
Can I finance the land transfer tax with my mortgage?
No. Land transfer tax must be paid in cash at closing. It cannot be rolled into a CMHC-insured mortgage. Budget for it separately as part of your closing costs.
