Northwest Territories

Buying property in the Northwest Territories involves registration fees rather than a transfer tax.

For homes under $1 million, the fee is $1.50 per $1,000 of property value, with a minimum of $100. Above $1 million, it’s $1,500 plus $1 per $1,000 of the excess.

For mortgages, you’ll pay $1 per $1,000, with a minimum of $80. While there’s no first-time buyer rebate, the structure is simple and transparent — no guesswork required.
