Newfoundland Land Transfer Tax 2026
Newfoundland Flag What is land transfer tax?
Newfoundland and Labrador does not have a conventional land transfer tax. Instead, the province charges land registration fees when a conveyance of land is registered with the Registry of Deeds. A registration fee applies to the conveyance based on the value of the property. If a notice of mortgage is also registered, a separate registration fee applies based on the amount of indebtedness secured by the mortgage. The maximum registration fee for a notice of mortgage is $5,000. There is no $5,000 maximum specified for the registration fee on a conveyance of land. The property will not be registered until the fee is paid in full.
A registration fee is not payable for an instrument registered by or on behalf of the Crown. A fee is also not payable for an instrument registered by or on behalf of a non-profit airport authority with respect to property transferred to it under the National Airport Policy.
