The municipality is responsible for assessing properties and determining its property tax rate, which typically land between 0.5 and 2.5%. Some Cobourg 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. 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.

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 Cobourg, you'll need a real estate lawyer to close the deal. Be sure to put aside $2,000 to cover the cost of your real estate lawyer, although legal fees can vary.
