Land Transfer Tax / Fees

Saskatchewan has no Land Transfer Tax. A Land Title Fee applies (flat fee + $0.30 per $1,000 of value, roughly $400–$700 on a $500k home).

First-Time Buyer Rebate

No rebate; fees are minimal.

Legal fees (ask for a quote)
Title insurance (varies by property value)
Home inspection (varies by property size and age)
Property tax adjustments

Professionals You'll Need

Lawyer / Notary

A lawyer completes the title transfer. No law society publishes a set fee tariff, so fees vary by firm and by the complexity of the transaction; ask for a quote up front.

Title Insurance

Recommended, though the ISC Assurance Fund provides some protection. Premiums are a one-time cost that varies with the property value and the insurer; ask your lawyer or notary for a quote.

Home Inspector

Recommended. Costs vary with the size, age and location of the property; ask the inspector for a quote.
