Quick answer
Which Vaughan townhomes qualify for the HST rebate?
Any new Vaughan townhome bought from the builder qualifies for the full Ontario HST relief (up to $130,000) if it costs $1.5 million or less, you will live in it, and you sign between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027. Above $1.5 million the relief shrinks, down to the regular $24,000 at $1.85 million. New Vaughan towns launching soon include Bridgelands (Weston and Teston), Klein Estates (Pine Valley and Teston) and Vellore Trails (Weston and Rutherford).

The rule in plain English
- New home, bought from the builder (not a resale).
- You or a close family member will live in it.
- Agreement of purchase and sale signed between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027.
- Price decides how much: full relief up to $1.5M, then it tapers.
What you get back at each price
| New townhome price | HST relief | Minimum down payment |
|---|---|---|
| $900,000 | $117,000 | $65,000 |
| $1,100,000 | $130,000 | $85,000 |
| $1,350,000 | $130,000 | $110,000 |
| $1,600,000 | about $99,700 | $320,000 (20%) |
| $1,900,000 | $24,000 (regular rebate) | $380,000 (20%) |
For comparison, freehold townhouses on the Vaughan resale market averaged $987,273 in October 2026 (TRREB). A new townhome at that price would get about $128,000 back.

Several older Vaughan town projects still listed online are sold out (Flori, Archetto, Rosepark). I confirm every price and status with the builder before you see it. Launch prices for the coming-soon projects have not been released; registering early is how you get first pick.
Bonus: Vaughan cut development charges to zero
Vaughan exempted City-wide residential development charges for projects that get permits and start construction between February 25, 2026 and October 31, 2027 (Policy 12.C.28). Ask the builder whether that saving is in the price or your closing adjustments. York Region and school board charges are separate.
How to get in early
Register for VIP access, get pre-approved, and have your deposit ready: recent Vaughan low-rise deposit schedules have run about $125,000 to $190,000 over the first 6 to 12 months. The full steps are in the Vaughan pre-construction guide, and the rebate rules in the HST rebate deadline guide.
