One of the carrying costs associated with homeownership in Brown is your property tax. This tax is essential in helping the city provide a number of services, including sewer protection and road maintenance. Property tax rates are assessed and determined annually by your municipality. They usually fall somewhere between 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 Brown homeowners assume that the bigger their house, the more they'll pay. 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 looking for a house in Brown, 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. The average closing costs in this city will typically come to about 1.5% - 2% of the purchase price, although this can vary. For example, 2% in closing costs on an $800,000 house would be $16,000 that you need to budget for. 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. If this is your first home, you can reduce closing costs by applying for a government rebate. Under this program, first-time homebuyers are reimbursed a portion of the land transfer tax. And finally, when buying a home in Brown, you'll need a real estate lawyer to close the deal. A good rule of thumb is to set aside about $1,500 to $2,000 to pay out your real estate lawyer upon closing.
