Land transfer
tax comparison.
Alberta wins.

Alberta has no provincial land transfer tax — one of the most significant financial advantages of buying in Calgary. This calculator shows you exactly how much you'd pay in other provinces and what you're saving by buying here.

Land transfer tax rates are current as of 2025. Toronto buyers pay an additional Toronto Municipal Land Transfer Tax on top of Ontario's provincial tax. First-time buyer rebates may apply in some provinces — amounts shown are before any rebates.

The Alberta advantage

No land transfer tax — ever.

Alberta is one of only three provinces in Canada with no provincial land transfer tax (along with Saskatchewan and rural Nova Scotia). For a $750,000 home, that's a saving of $13,000+ compared to BC and $11,000+ compared to Ontario.

Alberta does charge a small Land Title Transfer Fee — but it's a fraction of the cost compared to other provinces. On a $750,000 home, this fee is approximately $400–$600.

What this means for you
"For many buyers relocating from BC or Ontario, the land transfer tax saving alone covers several months of mortgage payments. It's one of the most compelling financial reasons to buy in Calgary."
