Alberta rules and closing costs

No land transfer tax: what Alberta buyers save at closing

Alberta does not charge provincial land transfer tax on home purchases. Buyers pay a land title registration fee instead: $50 plus $5.00 per $5,000 of property value. On the Calgary tab at $700,000, that fee is $750. Edmonton at $550,000 runs $600. On the same $700,000 purchase in Ontario, provincial land transfer tax alone is $10,475 before rebates, and Toronto buyers would pay that amount twice. The closing cost panel above shows you save $9,725 versus Ontario provincial LTT, or $20,200 versus a Toronto dual-tax purchase at the same price.

Both pre-loaded tabs use 10% down with CMHC insurance at 5.20% fixed over 25 years. Calgary property taxes are modeled at 0.65% of value; Edmonton at 0.70%. Because Alberta has no provincial sales tax, there is zero PST on the CMHC premium at closing. On Calgary, a $19,530 premium rolls into the mortgage with no additional cash charge, unlike Ontario (8% PST) or BC (7% PST). Legal fees, title insurance, and home inspection still apply in Alberta as separate closing-day costs.

The mortgage stress test applies at federally regulated lenders province-wide, so qualifying rate rules are identical to Ontario and BC. What changes is the cash stack at the lawyer's office. Compare the Calgary and Edmonton tabs to see how a higher Calgary purchase price affects insured monthly payments even when closing fees stay low. Adjust the down payment or rate in the calculator to match your own pre-approval numbers.
