The points below are not taken away from Estofa Law: they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- Local presence in Burlington not confirmed. No public source proves how many files were closed in this specific sector — only the professional holds that figure.

What does it cost in Burlington?
On Burlington's reference price ($849,900), land transfer tax comes to roughly $13,473.
Computed bracket by bracket on the official schedule, like income tax — it is NOT "top rate × price". It is paid in cash at closing and cannot be financed in the mortgage. On top of that come the professional's own fees: 1 000–2 000 $ in Ontario, plus title insurance (200–400 $).
Before any first-time buyer rebate, and excluding special cases (non-residents, transfers between relatives). The fees quoted are market ranges — no province publishes a schedule for them. The official calculation belongs to the professional closing the deal.
