Buying and selling homes and condos, mortgages, title problems, and landlord and tenant matters. In Manitoba buyers pay land transfer tax on the property's fair market value when the transfer of title is registered, plus a land titles registration fee.
Manitoba land transfer tax is nothing on the first $30,000 of the property's value, 0.5% from $30,000 to $90,000, 1% from $90,000 to $150,000, 1.5% from $150,000 to $200,000, and 2% above $200,000. On a $300,000 home that works out to $3,650. It is based on the fair market value on the day the transfer of title is registered.
The land titles office charges a registration fee on top of the land transfer tax: $137 for a transfer and $137 for a mortgage when they are filed electronically in 2026. Your lawyer's fees are separate.
The Residential Tenancies Branch gives information on rent, repairs and deposits and mediates disputes between tenants and landlords.
