Bulletin 2023-06: Land Services Fee Changes

Just a brief note to inform you about some adjustments to the Land Services Fees, effective from November 6, 2023.

Each year, certain fees are adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This year, the fees in Schedule I are increasing by 1.405%.

However, not all fees are changing. The fees in Schedules II and III are remaining the same.

Please note: the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) only applies to the Electronic Land Registration Services Act, 2010 (ELRSA) fee. This detail is clearly indicated in the attached fee schedules.

This annual adjustment process started back on November 2, 2015. For more information, Bulletin 2010-02 provides a detailed explanation.

To keep information current, Bulletin 2022-03 is being replaced with this update. This should provide a clearer reference.
