Useful offices
Putnam and Connecticut offices: what each one handles
Match the office to the record. The Assessor handles valuation records, the Town Clerk is the local starting point for Putnam land records, and state Revenue Services publishes conveyance-tax information. For an exact tax balance or a judgment affecting a property, use the current notice and property-specific closing review rather than treating those records as the same thing.
Putnam Town Clerk and Land Records
Town of Putnam · municipal records for Putnam properties
Start with the Town Clerk for Putnam land-record questions, including where to look for recorded deeds. Use the Town’s Land Records page for its record-search instructions; valuation and unpaid-tax balances are different questions.
Connecticut Department of Revenue Services
Connecticut · statewide real estate conveyance-tax information
Use the state tax information to understand the conveyance-tax rules. Ask the closing attorney to calculate the amount and check any exemption for the actual sale.
A Connecticut rule to know
Check conveyance tax before the deed is recorded
Connecticut real estate conveyance tax generally applies when a deed is recorded for a sale of $2,000 or more. For a home, the 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% on any portion above $2.5 million. Every town also receives a 0.25% municipal tax; eligible towns may add up to another 0.25% locally.
The law generally makes the seller responsible for the tax, paid when the deed is recorded, and some transfers are exempt. Ask the closing attorney to calculate the state and town amounts for your sale and check whether an exemption applies. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. That does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.

Putnam seller resource questions
Which Putnam office handles assessed value questions?
The Putnam Assessor handles assessed-value and assessment-record questions for properties in the Town of Putnam. The Town Clerk handles land-record questions; an assessed value does not tell you an unpaid tax balance or settle a title question.
Where can I look for a deed recorded in Putnam?
Use the Putnam Town Clerk’s Land Records page for the town’s search instructions. It is the municipal record path for a Putnam property, not a Windham County recorder. Ask a Connecticut closing attorney or title professional to explain how a record affects your sale.
Where do I check unpaid property taxes or a court judgment?
For an unpaid property-tax amount, start with the current bill or notice and ask the office named there for the property-specific balance; the Assessor’s valuation record is a different record. For a judgment or lien that may affect a sale, ask a Connecticut closing attorney or title professional to check the relevant court and property records.
What should I do about Connecticut conveyance tax?
Ask the closing attorney to calculate the state and local conveyance taxes for the actual sale and check whether an exemption applies. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. That does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
