Mississauga Land Transfer Tax Guide & 2026 Calculation Table
2026 Ontario Closing Cost & Tax Guide by Fernando Borges Mora, REALTOR (eXp Realty) - Official Mississauga Land Transfer Tax Brackets & First-Time Buyer Rebates.
Does Mississauga Have a Municipal Land Transfer Tax in 2026?
No. Unlike the City of Toronto (which charges a dual Municipal Land Transfer Tax on top of the provincial tax), buyers purchasing real estate anywhere in Mississauga (Peel Region) pay only the single provincial Ontario Land Transfer Tax (LTT) governed by the Land Transfer Tax Act (Ontario).
This single-tax structure is one of the primary financial drivers prompting buyers from Etobicoke and Downtown Toronto to relocate to Mississauga neighbourhoods such as Port Credit, Square One, Erin Mills, and Lakeview Village.

How the $4,000 Ontario First-Time Home Buyer LTT Rebate Works
Under Ontario Ministry of Finance regulations, qualifying first-time buyers in Mississauga receive a maximum refund of $4,000 against the provincial Land Transfer Tax (which completely eliminates the tax on the first $368,333 of the purchase price).
Eligibility Requirements:
- You must be at least 18 years of age and a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada (or become one within 18 months of registration).
- You must occupy the Mississauga home or condo as your principal residence within 9 months of the date of transfer.
- Neither you nor your spouse can have previously owned a home, or an interest in a home, anywhere in the world while being spouses of each other.
- Your real estate lawyer claims the $4,000 rebate electronically at closing through Teraview, deducting it directly from the funds you need to bring on closing day.
Combine Your LTT Rebate With FHSA ($40,000) and RRSP HBP ($60,000)
First-time buyers purchasing in Mississauga in 2026 can stack three federal and provincial programs simultaneously:
- First Home Savings Account (FHSA): Contribute up to $8,000/year ($40,000 lifetime limit per person, or $80,000 per couple) with tax-deductible contributions and 100% tax-free withdrawals for your Mississauga down payment.
