Money rules in Ottawa, Ontario

Ottawa buyers pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, not a municipal one. Property tax is set by the City using MPAC assessments, and Ottawa has its own vacant unit tax on residential properties left empty.

Property tax

Ottawa bills interim and final property taxes during the year. New owners often get a supplementary bill after MPAC adds a new home or renovation to the roll, so set money aside for it.
