Property tax is one of the things you'll need to consider when estimating the cost of owning a house in Brockville. This tax is used to pay for several essential services, including garbage and recycling collection. Each year, the municipality determines its property tax rate - which typically falls in the range of 0.5 to 2.5%. To determine how much property tax you'll pay, the city will multiply that tax rate by your home's current market value - which can fluctuate year-to-year depending on the value of neighbouring properties. This is why it's not necessarily correct when Brockville homeowners assume that the bigger their house, the more they'll pay. For instance, if your home's market value is $800,000 and the municipality's property tax rate is 0.5%, you'd pay $4,000 that year.

When looking for a house in Brockville, many buyers will overlook the closing costs. It's important to be aware of what these costs are, so you can budget accordingly prior to making an offer. At Strata, we advise our buyer clients to get a good estimate of closing costs early on. These costs can range anywhere from 1.5% - 2% of the overall purchase price. So consider a purchase price of $500,000 - 2% on that is $10,000 which should be accounted for upfront. In Canada, all buyers are required to pay a land transfer tax when closing on a property. First-time homebuyers could be eligible to receive a rebate on a portion of taxes paid. And lastly, buying Brockville real estate will require a lawyer you can trust. You'll need to find someone who specializes in this as they'll be finalizing your purchase. Depending on the complexities of the deal, legal fees can range. But budgeting $2,000 for your lawyer is a good place to start.
