Aside from mortgage payments, owning a house in Mattawa will require that you pay an annual property tax. This tax is essential in helping the city provide a number of services, including sewer protection and road maintenance. Each year, your municipality will determine its property tax rate, which typically lands between 0.5 and 2.5%. Mattawa homebuyers will often assume that the bigger the house, the more they'll pay. But this isn't necessarily true as the tax rate is multiplied by the home's current market value, which can change year-to-year based on recently sold properties. 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 Mattawa, 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. 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. In Canada, all buyers are required to pay a land transfer tax when closing on a property. First-time homebuyers could be eligible to receive a rebate on a portion of taxes paid. And finally, when buying a home in Mattawa, you'll need a real estate lawyer to close the deal.
