How you claim the first-time buyer land transfer tax refund when it was not applied at registration. Maximum $4,000 on conveyances on or after 1 January 2017.

The application must be received within 18 months of registration, and it has to carry the registered transfer, the agreement of purchase and sale with every schedule and amendment, and the statement of adjustments. Ontario's test is absolute: neither you nor your spouse, while your spouse, may have owned a home or an interest in one anywhere in the world.

The affidavit that states what was paid and on what basis, sworn on every conveyance. Your lawyer completes it as part of registration.

You will not normally fill this in yourself, but it is worth knowing it exists — it is where the value of the consideration is declared.

Canada Revenue Agency

The rebate application for a new or substantially renovated home bought from a builder, where the home is the primary place of residence for you or a relation — not a rental.

Ontario's provincial portion is claimed on its own schedule, RC7190-ON, filed with the federal form rather than instead of it. Guide RC4028 explains which rebate applies.

Government of Ontario / Condominium Authority of Ontario

The condo corporation's own disclosure of a unit's financial and legal standing, in the form the Condominium Act prescribes. Your lawyer reads it; our question card is for the conversation afterwards.

The corporation must provide it on request, and what it may charge is capped at $100 including taxes.

Needed where the home was not your principal residence for every year you owned it — so part of the gain is taxable. Filed with Schedule 3.

Since the 2016 tax year the CRA allows the exemption only if the sale is reported, even when the whole gain is exempt.

Canada Revenue Agency

The section 116 clearance a non-resident seller needs. Without a certificate the buyer is required to withhold a share of the price and remit it.

The CRA does not issue the certificate until the tax on the gain is paid or secured. T2062A covers resource, timber, non-capital real property and depreciable property. This one has caught out sellers who became non-resident without thinking of themselves that way.

The first step in a non-payment eviction, not the eviction itself. It gives the tenant a period to pay the arrears in full; paying within it voids the notice. Only if it expires unpaid can the landlord apply to the Board. A tenant who receives one has not been evicted and has not lost their home.

The notice used when the unit is wanted for the landlord's own use, a family member's, or a purchaser's. It carries a compensation requirement and a good-faith requirement, and it is the form most often served incorrectly when a tenanted property is sold — see our guide to selling a tenanted property.

Tarion Warranty Corporation

The forms and — more importantly — the windows: the Initial and Mid-Year forms and then the Year-End form in year one, the Second-Year form, and the Major Structural Defect form available up to seven years from possession.

Deadlines here are strict, and year one's forms submit themselves on a schedule rather than waiting for you — the Initial form goes in on day 41, the Mid-Year on day 183, the Year-End on day 365. Missing a window is the most common reason a real defect goes uncovered.

The deadline is 31 March of the tax year. MPAC aims to respond within 180 days, and you then have 90 days from its decision to appeal to the Assessment Review Board. Property-specific evidence is required — an opinion that the number looks high is not enough.
