How the Connecticut Transfer Tax is Calculated

Connecticut’s real estate transfer tax, known as a real estate conveyance tax, is calculated at a rate based on the amount the property is sold for. 

For residential dwellings, a tax rate of 0.75% of the first $800,000 of the property’s sales price is levied. A rate of 1.25% is levied for sale prices that exceed $800,000, up to $2.5 million, with a rate of 2.25% levied at any sales price over $2.5 million.
