About Yukon land transfer tax
Yukon does not charge a land transfer tax. Buyers pay a land titles fee to register the transfer, and a second fee to register the mortgage, both collected through your lawyer at closing.
The Yukon Land Titles Office sets the fees for registering a transfer and a mortgage, calculated from the value of the property and the amount borrowed. We have not reproduced the schedule here because we could not confirm the current figures against the office's own page — your lawyer, or the Land Titles Office, will give you the exact amount.
What still applies in Yukon
- Mortgage default insurance with less than 20% down — the premium is added to the mortgage. Yukon does not tax the premium (only Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan do).
- 30-year insured amortization for first-time buyers and anyone buying a newly built home, since December 15, 2024.
- GST on a new home — 5%, with the federal new housing rebate and, for first-time buyers, the First-Time Home Buyers' GST rebate of up to $50,000 on homes up to $1 million. See the GST/HST new build calculator.
- Legal fees, title insurance and adjustments — the bulk of closing costs where there is no transfer tax. The closing costs calculator adds them up.

Yukon land transfer tax — common questions
- Does Yukon have a land transfer tax?
- No. Yukon charges land titles registration fees instead of a land transfer tax. The fees are set by the territorial Land Titles Office and depend on the value of the property and the mortgage — your lawyer will quote the exact amount.
- How much will I actually pay at closing in Yukon?
- The land titles fees for the transfer and the mortgage, plus your legal fees, title insurance and any tax and utility adjustments. Compared with a province charging a percentage transfer tax, that usually saves a buyer thousands of dollars on the same price.
- Why is closing cheaper here than in Ontario or BC?
- Ontario and BC tax the transfer in brackets that climb to 2% and more of the price, while Yukon charges a registration fee that is small by comparison. 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 Yukon 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.
