Does Alberta have land transfer tax?

No — Alberta is one of the few provinces without a land transfer tax. You still pay Land Titles registration fees, which are much smaller.

How much are Alberta Land Title fees?

$50 base fee plus $5 per $5,000 (or part) of property value, and the same $50 + $5 per $5,000 on the mortgage amount (rates effective October 20, 2024). On a $600,000 purchase with a $480,000 mortgage that's $1,180 total ($650 property + $530 mortgage).

Are there other closing costs in Alberta?

Yes — legal fees, title insurance, property tax adjustments and CMHC insurance (if your down payment is under 20%) still apply. The Land Titles fee on this page is just one line item.
