Homeownership in Central Elgin 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 are assessed and determined annually by your municipality. They usually fall somewhere between 0.5 to 2.5%. Some Central Elgin residents assume they'll pay more in taxes, depending on the size of their home. However, that's not necessarily true as the city's tax rate is multiplied by the property's current market value - and that can change each year based on the sale of nearby 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.

When looking for a house in Central Elgin, many buyers will overlook the closing costs. It's important to be aware of what these costs are, so you can budget accordingly prior to making an offer. Closing costs cannot be rolled into your mortgage. But rather, these are charges paid upfront on the day of closing. To be safe, budget about 2% of the purchase price. For instance, if you're buying a Central Elgin house for $800,000 - then at least $16,000 should be set aside. 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. A real estate lawyer is necessary to finalize any purchase in Central Elgin, so you'll want to include their fees in your closing costs. Depending on the complexities of the deal, legal fees can range. But budgeting $2,000 for your lawyer is a good place to start.
