What are the Alberta tax advantages?
Alberta has no provincial land transfer tax — closing costs are among Canada's lowest. Property taxes vary by municipality but are generally moderate. No provincial sales tax. For buyers from Ontario, BC, or Saskatchewan, Alberta closing costs are typically lower per dollar of property value.
