Homeownership in Surrey comes with a number of expenses, one of them being property taxes. This tax is crucial in providing local residents with essential services, including garbage collection, fire protection and policing. Each year, the municipality determines its property tax rate - which typically falls in the range of 0.5 to 2.5%. Surrey homebuyers will often assume that the bigger the house, the more they'll pay. But this isn't necessarily true as the tax rate is multiplied by the home's current market value, which can change year-to-year based on recently sold properties. For example, if the assessed market value of a house is $750,000 and the property tax rate is 0.5% - the homeowner would pay $3,750 to their municipality that year.

All buyers must pay a series of closing costs when purchasing a house here. Your realtor and/or real estate agent can best advise on what these charges are. But here's a quick overview of what's involved when buying property in Surrey. At Strata, we advise our buyer clients to get a good estimate of closing costs early on. These costs can range anywhere from 1.5% - 2% of the overall purchase price. So consider a purchase price of $500,000 - 2% on that is $10,000 which should be accounted for upfront. A significant portion of your closing costs will be dedicated to the land transfer tax. These taxes are based on a percentage of the total purchase price. If you're a first-time homebuyer, however, you could be eligible for a government rebate to bring down these costs. Lastly, you'll need a Surrey real estate lawyer, not only to facilitate the financial transaction, but to conduct a title search and register the property under your name. Be sure to put aside $2,000 to cover the cost of your real estate lawyer, although legal fees can vary.
