When purchasing a home in Toronto, there are several taxes and fees that you should factor into your budget. These additional costs go beyond the purchase price of the property and can have a significant impact on your overall expenses. Here are some taxes and fees to consider:

  1. Land Transfer Tax: Toronto has both a municipal land transfer tax and a provincial land transfer tax. The amount of tax is based on the purchase price of the property and can vary. First-time homebuyers may be eligible for rebates. Use online calculators provided by the city to estimate these costs.

  2. Legal Fees: You'll need to hire a real estate lawyer to handle the legal aspects of the transaction, including title searches, document preparation, and registration. Legal fees can vary, so request quotes from potential lawyers.

  3. Title Insurance: While not mandatory, title insurance provides protection against title defects, ownership disputes, and other issues that may arise after the purchase. The cost depends on the property value.

  4. Home Inspection Fee: Though not a tax, a home inspection is a critical expense. It helps you identify potential issues with the property before purchasing.

  5. Property Appraisal Fee: If your lender requires an appraisal to determine the property's value, there may be a fee associated with this service.

  6. Mortgage Insurance Premiums: If your down payment is less than 20%, you may need to pay mortgage insurance premiums. The cost varies based on factors like the down payment amount and property value.

  7. Home Insurance: Lenders require proof of home insurance to protect against damage and liability. The cost depends on various factors, including coverage and property type.

  8. Utility Hookups and Deposits: Setting up utilities such as water, electricity, and gas may involve connection fees or deposits.

  9. Adjustments and Prepaid Expenses: You may need to reimburse the seller for prepaid property taxes, utilities, and other fees that extend beyond the closing date.

  10. Moving Costs: Budget for expenses related to moving your belongings to the new property.

  11. HST on New Builds: If you're purchasing a newly constructed home, HST may apply to the purchase price. New homebuyers can apply for rebates on a portion of this tax.

  12. Condo Fees and Special Assessments: If you're buying a condo, factor in monthly condo fees and any special assessments that may be applicable.

  13. Real Estate Agent's Commission: Typically paid by the seller, this fee covers the services of both the buyer's and seller's agents.

  14. Provincial Sales Tax (PST) and Goods and Services Tax (GST): These taxes may apply to certain goods and services associated with the transaction.

It's essential to be aware of these taxes and fees and include them in your budget calculations. Working closely with your real estate agent and financial advisor can help you accurately estimate these costs and plan for a smooth and successful home purchase in Toronto.
