Property tax is one of the things you'll need to consider when estimating the cost of owning a house in Collingwood. This tax is crucial in providing local residents with essential services, including garbage collection, fire protection and policing. 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 Collingwood 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 purchasing a house in Collingwood, 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. 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. The land transfer tax will make up most of your closing costs. In Canada, all buyers are subject to the LTT imposed by the province. First-time homebuyers could be eligible for a government rebate - your real estate lawyer can help you apply for this rebate at the time of closing. Finally, a Collingwood real estate lawyer will be necessary to conduct a title search, arrange title insurance, plus register the home under your name. Real estate lawyers have varying rates, but many agents will recommend you budget about $2,000 to cover their fees.
