Closing Costs for people in Toronto
When applying for a new mortgage in Toronto, it is always important to be aware of the closing costs associated with property purchases. Most of these costs will need to be paid up front, so you will need to pay for them, in addition to your down payment for your home.
- Ontario Land Transfer Tax: Provincial land transfer taxes are collected by the Ontario government, and are between 0.5% - 2.0% of the purchase price.
- Toronto Land Transfer Tax: Unlike most cities, the City of Toronto charges its own land transfer tax on top of the provincial tax. This adds an additional 0.5 - 2.0%, depending on the purchase price.
- Mortgage Default Insurance and PST: If your mortgage is an insured mortgage, you'll need to pay for mortgage default insurance - this will normally be included as part of your mortgage. However, provincial sales tax (PST) on your premiums must be paid upfront. Ontario currently charges 8% PST on mortgage default insurance premiums.
