Bulletin information:

Issue Date: October 2, 2015
Legislation: Land Titles Act, Land Registry Act, Electronic Land Registration Services Act, 2010

Bulletin content:

As communicated in Bulletin 2010-02, issued on December 16, 2010, there will be two classes of changes to the fee structure for land registration services in Ontario commencing on November 2, 2015:

  • Firstly, the fee for searching properties from within land registry offices will be harmonized to be more in line with the fees for comparable searches done remotely through Teraview; and
  • Secondly, some of the fees set for land registration services are to be adjusted by an accumulation of 50 per cent of inflation based on the consumer price index for each year between 2010 and 2015. As the fees in Schedule I will be adjusted by 50 per cent of the consumer price index annually beginning on November 2, 2016, it is expected that yearly communication of these changes will be made.

The consumer price index (CPI) for each year since 2010 has now been set. This Bulletin identifies how the CPI impacts the electronic registration services fee changes that are effective November 2, 2015. The fees set out in Schedules II and III will not increase by CPI (See attached Fee schedules I, II and III).

Please note that any applicable Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will be in addition to the fees listed in the fee schedule.

This Bulletin replaces Bulletin 2010-02.
