Land transfer tax on a Burlington purchase
Burlington is outside the City of Toronto, so only Ontario's land transfer tax applies — $16,894 on a $1,020,937 purchase.
The first-time-buyer refund is capped at $4,000, which here covers only 24% of the tax; a first-time buyer still owes $12,894.
All told, the minimum cash to close at this price — before legal fees, title insurance and adjustments — is about $93,988. Check other prices in the land transfer tax calculator.
The Burlington market behind your rate
The $1,020,937 figure is Burlington’s average price for August 2026 (the latest we have sourced), from Burlington average selling price, TRREB Market Watch.
Our Burlington guide works through the 3 questions that decide most files here:
- Burlington's mortgage work is mostly refinancing, and refinancing has its own ceiling. Burlington's owner base is long-tenured — Roseland, Tyandaga and the Aldershot bungalow streets turn over slowly — so a large share of local mortgage activity is not a purchase at all.
- Halton closing costs: one land transfer tax, and the Burlington detached line. Burlington sits in Halton Region, which levies no municipal land transfer tax — so a Burlington buyer pays Ontario's provincial tax only, where the same-priced purchase inside the City of Toronto would carry a second municipal tax roughly doubling the bill and payable in cash on closing.
- An illustrative Burlington file: equity that exists, ratios that decide. This is an illustrative composite drawn from the rules above — not a specific client, and not a promised result.
How Burlington neighbourhoods change the file
5 of these 7 Burlington communities have their own published average price, shown with its source — so you can see which pockets sit inside the insurable band and which cross it.
Aldershot
Post-war bungalow on deep lots, plus mid-rise condo on Plains RoadThe split produces two unrelated files. The deep-lot bungalows are bought as much for land as for the house, so redevelopment purchases are appraised without habitable comparables and fall outside standard A-lender purchase policy. The Plains Road condos are a status-certificate review, and at this community average many detached files sit near the $1.5M insured ceiling.
Brant Hills
1970s–80s freehold family subdivisionThe most consistently insurable pocket in Burlington, and the one where an owner-occupied purchase most reliably stays under the $1.5M ceiling. A long-settled owner base makes the renewal book deep, and refinances to fund the updates this vintage now needs are common; both stop at 80% loan-to-value.
Tyandaga
Established larger-lot detached against the escarpmentTurnover is low and tenure is long, so most local work here is a renewal, a refinance or an equity draw for renovation rather than a purchase. At this community average files sit close enough to the $1.5M ceiling that insurability has to be settled per property before a down payment is budgeted.
Roseland
Prestige detached on mature lots south of New StreetSeven-figure purchases are the norm, so files here are usually uninsured and conventional. The binding constraints stop being the stress test and become lender appetite for the loan amount, the appraisal on individually distinct houses, and independent legal advice where a co-signer or gifted equity is involved.
Headon Forest
Late-1980s move-up family stock beside MillcroftOwners here bought young and have held for decades, which makes accumulated equity the defining feature of the local file mix: renewals, refinances and HELOCs comfortably outnumber first purchases. At this community average the pocket stays inside the insurable band on a purchase.
Millcroft
Executive detached around the golf courseGolf-course frontage and larger executive homes push a good share of this stock over the $1.5M line, where default insurance is unavailable and 20% down is the legal minimum. Distinctive houses also give appraisers fewer close comparables.
Alton Village
2000s detached, semi and townhouse subdivisionThe newest large pocket in the city, with uniform stock and clean comparables. Freehold townhouses under a common-elements corporation carry a monthly fee that counts in your debt-service ratios despite the freehold title.
