Property Ownership Changes

Changing ownership

If an ownership change has taken place, please have your solicitor contact us at tax@oakville.ca with the legal documentation.

Ownership can not be changed without legal documentation.

You need to provide legal documentation to support an ownership change, such as:

• a copy of title transfer
• marriage certificate
• death certificate

An administrative fee of $50 will be charged to the account upon the change of ownership.
