One of the carrying costs associated with homeownership in Lincoln is your property tax. This tax helps fund many local services, such as snow removal, fire protection, and much more. Each year, the municipality determines its property tax rate - which typically falls in the range of 0.5 to 2.5%. Some Lincoln 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 property's market value is $700,000 and the municipal property tax rate is 0.5%. This means you'd owe $3,500 in property taxes that year.

When purchasing a house in Lincoln, 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. Buyers are not allowed to roll closing costs into their mortgage. So be prepared to budget anywhere up to 2% of the purchase price. For instance, 2% on a $600,000 house in Lincoln would require $12,000 to be set aside for closing day. 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. The most common way to reduce this tax is by applying for the first-time homebuyer rebate. Finally, a Lincoln real estate lawyer will be necessary to conduct a title search, arrange title insurance, plus register the home under your name.
