How the math works
Total = purchase × (state + county + municipal rates).
Real estate transfer taxes are non-negotiable once the deed records. Confirm the jurisdiction's total combined rate at LOI — it can swing closing cost by 1-2% of purchase price, material to an IRR calculation on thin-margin deals.
How to Use
- Enter purchase price.
- Enter state rate %.
- Enter county rate %.
- Enter municipal rate %.
- Read total recording tax.
Frequently Asked Questions
State variation?
Florida: 0.7% state. New York: 0.4% state + NYC city (1-1.425%). California: 0.11% state + county additions. Texas: no state tax. Pennsylvania: 1% state + 1% local. Check specific jurisdiction carefully.
Who pays?

How often should I rerun this?
Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
