In Québec, the property transfer tax is called the taxe de Bienvenue. It uses a simple tiered structure across the province: 0.5% from $0 to $61,500, 1.0% from $61,500 to $307,800, and 1.5% on the portion above $307,800. This makes it easy to estimate your cost before you close.

Some municipalities add local brackets. Montréal is the best-known example, with additional tiers for higher price ranges.
