Useful office
Hampshire County Registry of Deeds
The Registry serves Hampshire County and handles recorded deeds and land records. A deed record is different from a property valuation, an unpaid municipal tax balance, or a court case; for those, use the municipality or court responsible for the property or named on your notice.
A local sale rule
Massachusetts deeds excise
Massachusetts calls its deed-transfer charge the deeds excise. For a sale price over $100, the standard rate is $2.28 for each $500 or fraction of $500. It is paid when the deed is recorded. Hampshire County uses the standard rate; the separate Barnstable County rate does not apply to a Northampton property.
State law makes the person signing the deed subject to the excise—ordinarily the seller in a sale. Ask the closing professional to confirm the amount for your deed and transaction. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Massachusetts deeds excise. That does not include your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
