How does Connecticut's conveyance tax work?
Connecticut's conveyance tax has a state part and a municipal part (CGS § 12-494). The state rate is 0.75% of the price; for a residential sale of $800,000 or more it is 0.75% on the first $800,000, 1.25% on the portion up to $2.5 million and 2.25% on the portion above $2.5 million, and most nonresidential property other than unimproved land pays 1.25%. The municipal part adds 0.25%, and some targeted municipalities may add more. The seller typically pays, and the tax is paid to the town clerk where the property is located.
