One of the carrying costs associated with homeownership in Aurora is your property tax. This tax is crucial in providing local residents with essential services, including garbage collection, fire protection and policing. Property tax rates are assessed and determined annually by your municipality. They usually fall somewhere between 0.5 to 2.5%. Some Aurora residents assume they'll pay more in taxes, depending on the size of their home. However, that's not necessarily true as the city's tax rate is multiplied by the property's current market value - and that can change each year based on the sale of nearby homes. Let's say your home's assessed market value is $600,000 and the municipality's property tax rate is 1% - that year you'd pay $6,000.

When purchasing a house in Aurora, you must budget for a series of charges known as 'closing costs'. These costs are necessary in order to finalize your purchase, so be sure to factor them in before making an offer. Buyers are not allowed to roll closing costs into their mortgage. So be prepared to budget anywhere up to 2% of the purchase price. For instance, 2% on a $600,000 house in Aurora would require $12,000 to be set aside for closing day. All buyers are subject to the province's land transfer tax. If you're a first-time homebuyer, however, you could be eligible for a government rebate to bring down these costs. A real estate lawyer is necessary to finalize any purchase in Aurora, so you'll want to include their fees in your closing costs. Real estate lawyers have varying rates, but many agents will recommend you budget about $2,000 to cover their fees.
