High Taxes on Ontario Homes

Ontario has some of the highest housing taxes in North America. For consumers, high taxes on housing make homeownership more difficult for both new buyers and existing owners.

For the average homebuyer, government taxes and fees make up 35.6% of the final purchase cost of a new home.

Taxes, Fees & Charges on The Average Ontario Home

High Taxes & Not Enough Homes

The problem

Ontario’s high housing taxes fuel scarcity and drive-up costs, turning homeownership into a privilege to be taxed rather than a dream for everyone to pursue.

We need to lower taxes on housing so we can build more homes that families and individuals can afford.
