Common Questions

Connecticut Conveyance Tax FAQ

How does the CT conveyance tax work?

Connecticut's state conveyance tax is marginal — it applies different rates to different portions of the sale price. The rates are 0.75% for the first $800k, 1.25% up to $2.5M, and 2.25% on the excess.

Who pays the CT conveyance tax?

The state conveyance tax is legally the seller's responsibility and must be paid at closing.

Is the CT mansion tax marginal or flat?

Marginal. The higher 2.25% rate only applies to the portion of the purchase price exceeding $2.5M. This contrasts with NYC's flat mansion tax which applies the rate to the entire purchase price.

Are there any exemptions?

Transfers between spouses, governmental entities, and qualifying non-profits may be exempt. The first $800,000 is taxed at 0.75%, not exempt.
