Yukon Land Transfer Tax Calculator

Yukon has no land transfer tax. Under the Land Titles Act a buyer pays three kinds of fee instead: a transfer fee and a mortgage registration fee, each a flat amount for the price band it falls in, and an assurance fee when the price is higher than the property’s value at its last transfer. This calculator works out the fees; the provinces with a percentage tax are on the land transfer tax calculator for Canada.

Yukon Land Titles Fee Schedule

Property Transfer Fee

Mortgage Registration Fee

Assurance Fee

The assurance fee applies only when the purchase price is greater than the property’s value at its last transfer:

• $20 for the first $10,000 of additional declared value
• $10 for each additional $10,000 after that

How to Calculate Yukon Fees

Example: a $400,000 home in Whitehorse with a $320,000 mortgage.

• Property transfer fee: $150 (the $100,000 to $499,999 band)
• Mortgage registration fee: $100 (the $100,000 to $499,999 band)

Total Yukon fees: $150 + $100 = $250, plus any assurance fee.

Yukon Fees by Home Price

The mortgage column assumes a mortgage of 80% of the price. An assurance fee may apply on top if the price exceeds the last registered value.

Because the fees are flat by band, they don’t grow with each dollar of price: the transfer fee tops out at $750 even on a property worth tens of millions.

First-Time Homebuyers in Yukon

Yukon has no first-time homebuyer exemption from land titles fees. The federal programs for first-time buyers are in first-time home buyer programs.

The other two territories charge per $1,000 of value: see the NWT land titles fees and Nunavut land titles fees. Alberta’s land title fees also scale with value.

Legal fees, inspections and property tax adjustments are part of the closing costs of any purchase.
