For a home sale of $2,000 or more, Connecticut's state rate is 0.75% on the price up to $800,000, 1.25% on the portion from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% above $2.5 million. Each town has a 0.25% municipal tax; some eligible towns may add another 0.25%. A $100,000 sale at the standard local rate is $750 state tax plus $250 municipal tax. The closing attorney can confirm exemptions and the amount for your transfer. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. That does not include a mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
