Prince Edward Island charges real property transfer tax of 1% of the price or the assessed value, whichever is higher. First-time buyers who’ll live in the home pay none, at any price.
The tax is usually paid by your lawyer or notary when the sale closes, so you need it in cash on top of your down payment. Use the calculator above to see the exact amounts for your home.
