Buying a home in Alberta

In Alberta, ask the seller for a current Real Property Report (RPR) with the municipality's compliance stamp — it confirms the house, garage and fences sit where they should. A home inspection and a review of the title for caveats round out the standard conditions.

Alberta has no land transfer tax — buyers pay land titles registration fees instead, which makes closing costs noticeably lower than in BC or Ontario. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.

Generally not right now. Since January 1, 2023, the federal Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act has barred most non-Canadians from buying residential property, with exceptions such as permanent residents and some work-permit holders. The ban has been extended before, so confirm its current status and get legal advice on your situation.
