Property tax is one of the things you'll need to consider when estimating the cost of owning a house in Brampton. This tax helps fund many local services, such as snow removal, fire protection, and much more. The municipality is responsible for assessing properties and determining its property tax rate, which typically land between 0.5 and 2.5%. Some Brampton homebuyers believe this tax is based on the size of the house. But rather, the tax rate is multiplied by the home's current market value - which can fluctuate each year based on surrounding homes. For example, if the assessed market value of a house is $750,000 and the property tax rate is 0.5% - the homeowner would pay $3,750 to their municipality that year.

A common mistake buyers make is overlooking the closing costs associated with purchasing a house in Brampton. These fees are standard in real estate, but can still catch you off guard if you're unprepared. When searching for a house in Brampton, buyers will typically take into account 1.5% - 2% of their budgeted purchase price for closing costs. For instance, 2% in closing costs on a $500,000 house would be $10,000. Because these charges cannot be lumped into your mortgage, it's crucial to have this money upfront upon closing. In Canada, regardless of where you purchase, all buyers must pay a land transfer tax. These amounts are set up by the individual provinces, with some municipalities imposing a second tax upon closing. First-time homebuyers could be eligible to receive a rebate on a portion of taxes paid. Finally, a Brampton real estate lawyer will be necessary to conduct a title search, arrange title insurance, plus register the home under your name. Although fees can vary, expect to set aside somewhere around $1,500 - $2,000 on closing to cover your legal costs.
