If you are an owner of a property in Ontario, you are ultimately responsible for complying with all building requirements. Costly construction delays, legal action and/or the removal of work already completed may result if one fails to obtain the required building permits.

If you wish to buy or transfer property in Ontario, it is important to be aware of the Land transfer tax (LTT). Barring a few exceptions, the Ontario Government applies the Land Transfer Tax for all properties purchased or transferred. The buyer pays this amount upon registration of the Transfer/Deed. On transfers of residential real property in Ontario, Land Transfer Tax (LTT) is calculated on the purchase price.
