Does Alberta have a land transfer tax?

No. Alberta is one of two provinces (along with Saskatchewan) with no land transfer tax. Buyers pay a Land Title Transfer Fee and a Mortgage Registration Fee — both based on graduated rates — but these are much smaller than Ontario's or BC's land transfer taxes.

How much are closing costs in Alberta?

Alberta closing costs typically range from 1.5% to 4% of the purchase price. On a $500,000 home, expect roughly $8,000–$20,000 in total closing costs, including title fees, legal fees, home inspection, title insurance, and property tax adjustments.

What is Alberta's Land Title Transfer Fee?

Alberta's Land Title Transfer Fee is based on the property value: $0–$50,000 is $50; then $1 per $5,000 for the next $50,000; then $2 per $5,000 for the remainder. On a $500,000 home, this fee is about $265.
