Required disclosures

  • Oil tank disclosure — if property has or had an underground oil tank

Seller checklist

  • Disclose any known underground or above-ground oil tank history
  • Complete Property Condition Disclosure Statement
  • Deed Transfer Tax is paid by buyer — rate varies by municipality (typically 1–1.5%)
  • Hire a real estate lawyer for closing (~$900–$1,500)
  • Ensure well and septic compliance certificates are current if applicable
Tax note

Deed Transfer Tax paid by buyer — rate set by municipality. HST (15%) on new construction. No capital gains tax for primary residence sellers.

Halifax sellers must disclose oil tank history — very common in older NS homes. Deed Transfer Tax is set by HRM (Halifax Regional Municipality). OwnerListed handles all NS requirements.
