How the Colorado Transfer Tax is Calculated
Colorado’s transfer tax, known as a documentary fee, is calculated at a rate of $0.01 per $100 of the property’s sale price.
For example, if you sold your home for $590,000 (Colorado’s median home price), you could expect to pay $59 in Colorado transfer taxes.
