State Realty Transfer Tax Rate
PA Department of Revenue
Pennsylvania requires 75 hours of pre-license education and passage of the Pearson VUE exam (80 national + 40 state questions). Both sections require a minimum passing score of 75. The state realty transfer tax is 1% of the value of the real estate, and a local realty transfer tax is often added. The state uses the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act (RELRA) as the primary governing law. Sellers must complete a Seller's Disclosure form with 17 sections (49 Pa. Code § 35.335a).

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Pennsylvania real estate salesperson exam?
The PA exam has 120 total questions: 80 national and 40 state-specific. You must reach the minimum passing score of 75 on each section; Pearson VUE reports scaled scores, so the exact number of correct answers can vary by form. The exam is administered by Pearson VUE with 3.5 hours total (150 minutes national, 60 minutes state).
What is RELRA?
The Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act (RELRA) is Pennsylvania's primary law governing real estate licensing and practice. It establishes the SREC, defines license categories, sets education requirements, and establishes disciplinary procedures.
How does Pennsylvania's transfer tax work?
Pennsylvania's state realty transfer tax is 1% of the value of the real estate transferred, and local governments often add their own realty transfer tax at a rate that varies by jurisdiction. The grantor and grantee are jointly and severally liable for paying it. Some transfers are excluded; the Department of Revenue's REV-183 instructions list them.
What is the PA Consumer Notice?
The Consumer Notice must be provided at the initial interview (49 Pa. Code § 35.336). It explains the business relationships available in Pennsylvania; the consumer is asked to sign an acknowledgment (a refusal is noted) and the licensee certifies providing it.
