Canada · Land Transfer Tax
Saskatchewan, like Alberta, has no land transfer tax, so a $400,000 Regina or Saskatoon home attracts $0 in transfer tax. Buyers pay only a land titles fee (roughly $500–$800) plus legal costs, which keeps Saskatchewan among the cheapest Canadian provinces to buy in. For first time buyers the saving versus Ontario is several thousand dollars they can put straight into a down payment.
