Halifax Regional Municipality charges a deed transfer tax of 1.5% of the purchase price. Annual property tax is set by HRM and based on the assessment from the Property Valuation Services Corporation, with an assessment cap for eligible owner-occupied homes.
Nova Scotia's Capped Assessment Program limits yearly assessment increases on eligible residential homes. The cap resets when the property is sold, so a new buyer's first bill can be much higher than the seller's.
No offer in our catalog is restricted to this city alone. Rates for banking, cards, loans and mortgages are set nationally or provincially, so the offers below are the ones confirmed for the whole province.
