Homeownership in Essa comes with a number of expenses, one of them being property taxes. This tax is essential in helping the city provide a number of services, including sewer protection and road maintenance. Property tax rates usually fall between 0.5 and 2.5%, and are set out by the local municipality. This tax is not necessarily dictated by the size of your house, which is what many Essa homeowners tend to believe. But rather, the city's tax rate is multiplied by the property's current market value - and that can fluctuate year-to-year based on recently sold 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 Essa. These fees are standard in real estate, but can still catch you off guard if you're unprepared. 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. 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.
