Land transfer tax in Manitoba
The first $30,000 is genuinely untaxed — and then the bands climb faster than almost anywhere else.
What it costs, at four prices
Computed from Manitoba's own schedule, last read against its source on August 13, 2026. Every figure is marginal — each band is taxed at its own rate — which is why the tax does not double when the price does.
| Purchase price | Land transfer tax |
|---|---|
| $400,000.00 | $5,650.00 |
| $600,000.00 | $9,650.00 |
| $800,000.00 | $13,650.00 |
| $1,200,000.00 | $21,650.00 |
Manitoba grants no first-time-buyer relief on this tax, so the figures above are what everybody pays.
What is specific to Manitoba
Manitoba's first $30,000 is untaxed rather than merely low-rated, and the bands above it climb quickly: 0.5% to $90,000, 1% to $150,000, 1.5% to $200,000, and 2% on everything above. Because the top band starts so low, an ordinary purchase pays close to 2% on most of its price — $9,650.00 on $600,000 — which puts Manitoba among the more expensive provinces at prices where several others are still in a lower bracket.
There is no provincial first-time-buyer rebate of any kind, so the figures above are what everybody pays — a first purchase, a fifth, and an investment property are all taxed identically. That is worth knowing before you compare Manitoba against Ontario or British Columbia on a headline rate: those two look more expensive until the relief comes off, and for a first-time buyer under the thresholds it comes off entirely. Manitoba also levies a separate land titles registration fee on top of the tax, which is not estimated here and is not large enough to change a decision.

Where these figures come from
Read from the primary source, not from a secondary table. Rates move — Toronto's changed on 1 April 2026 and Quebec's are re-indexed every January — so the date below is part of the answer.

Estimates only, and not legal or tax advice. Your lawyer or notary calculates the figure that is actually paid, and property type, assessed value and the identity of the buyer can all change it.
The other jurisdictions
Every province and city whose schedule is encoded here. The eight that are missing are missing on purpose — their rates are set per municipality, or changed recently and have not been re-read from the primary source, and a page showing $0 for them would be worse than no page.

This is one line of the closing-day bill
Land transfer tax is usually the largest, but legal fees, title insurance and an inspection sit beside it, and the down payment sits above it. The affordability calculator puts the whole cash-to-close figure together — and an account tracks the mortgage once you have signed.
