Helpful local rule
Check Connecticut real estate conveyance tax before closing
On a qualifying house sale of $2,000 or more, Connecticut real estate conveyance tax is due when the deed is recorded, and state law places the tax on the seller. The state rate is 0.75% on the first $800,000 of price, 1.25% on the portion from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% on any portion above $2.5 million. Every municipality adds a 0.25% municipal tax; some eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%, for a local rate of up to 0.50%.
For example, on a $100,000 sale the state amount is $750 and a 0.25% town amount is $250, for $1,000 total. In a town charging the full 0.50% municipal rate, the total would be $1,250. Some transfers are exempt; the closing attorney confirms the amount for the property and transaction.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate from the closing costs we pay.
