About Saskatchewan land transfer tax
Saskatchewan does not charge a formal land transfer tax. Buyers pay nominal land titles registration fees instead — typically a few hundred dollars depending on the purchase price and mortgage amount. The savings vs. provinces with full LTT are meaningful, especially for higher-priced purchases.

Saskatchewan land transfer tax — common questions
- Does Saskatchewan have a land transfer tax?
- No. Saskatchewan charges land titles registration fees instead of a percentage-based land transfer tax. The fees are calculated on the purchase price and the mortgage amount, but they run to a few hundred dollars rather than the thousands a percentage tax produces.
- How much will I actually pay at closing in Saskatchewan?
- Expect registration fees in the low hundreds, plus your legal fees, title insurance and any tax adjustments. Compared with a province charging a full transfer tax, this typically saves a buyer several thousand dollars on the same purchase price.
- Why is closing cheaper here than in Ontario or BC?
- Because those provinces tax the transfer as a percentage of price, which scales with the market, while Saskatchewan charges a registration fee that does not. On an expensive purchase the gap is large — and it is a cash-at-closing difference, not something you can add to the mortgage.
- Is there still a first-time buyer rebate?
- A rebate exists to offset a tax, and there is no transfer tax here to offset. First-time buyers in Saskatchewan instead benefit from the lower baseline cost. Federal programs such as the Home Buyers' Plan and the FHSA still apply.
- What should I budget for closing costs overall?
- Legal fees and disbursements, title insurance, a home inspection, an appraisal if your lender orders one, and tax and utility adjustments to the seller. Without a transfer tax the total is usually well under two percent of the purchase price.
