How Saskatchewan's land titles transfer fee works
The fee is $0 on titles worth $500 or less, a flat $25 on titles worth $500.01 to $6,300, and 0.4% of the value above that. ISC raised the rate from 0.3% to 0.4% on July 29, 2023, so any calculator or article still quoting 0.3% is out of date. The fee is paid through your lawyer when the transfer is registered. A separate mortgage registration fee also applies and depends on the mortgage amount.
First-time buyers in Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan has no provincial land transfer tax rebate, but first-time buyers still get the federal Home Buyers' Amount credit, the Home Buyers' Plan RRSP withdrawal and the First Home Savings Account, and the province's First-Time Homebuyers' Tax Credit provides a non-refundable provincial credit on your Saskatchewan income tax return.
Buying a rental property in Saskatchewan
For an investment property the land titles transfer fee is not deductible against rental income. It is added to your adjusted cost base, recovered partly through capital cost allowance on the building and fully through a smaller capital gain when you sell, as explained in our capital gains on a rental property guide. Add it to the purchase price in our rental property calculator so your cash-on-cash return reflects the real cash you put in.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the Saskatchewan land title transfer fee on a $400,000 home?+
$1,600, which is 0.4% of $400,000. The same home would pay $4,475 in land transfer tax in Ontario or $6,000 in BC.
Did Saskatchewan's transfer fee go up?+
Yes. ISC increased the fee from 0.3% to 0.4% of value effective July 29, 2023, as part of a broader fee change. The $25 flat fee on low-value titles and the $500 floor were unchanged.
Is the fee charged on assessed value or purchase price?+
On the value of the title being transferred, which in an ordinary sale is the purchase price. For transfers without a sale (a gift, an estate) ISC uses fair market value.
