Aside from mortgage payments, owning a house in Windsor will require that you pay an annual property tax. This tax is crucial in providing local residents with essential services, including garbage collection, fire protection and policing. Each year, your municipality will determine its property tax rate, which typically lands between 0.5 and 2.5%. Some Windsor 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. 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.

When looking for a house in Windsor, 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 Windsor house for $800,000 - then at least $16,000 should be set aside. All buyers are subject to the province's land transfer tax. If you're a first-time homebuyer, however, you could be eligible for a government rebate to bring down these costs. Finally, a Windsor real estate lawyer will be necessary to conduct a title search, arrange title insurance, plus register the home under your name. Although fees can vary, expect to set aside somewhere around $1,500 - $2,000 on closing to cover your legal costs.
