How the Ohio Transfer Tax is Calculated
Ohio’s transfer tax, known as a Real Property Conveyance Fee, is calculated at a rate of $1.00 per $1,000 of the property’s sale price. The seller is typically responsible for paying the real estate transfer tax.
For example, if you sold your home for $241,000 (Ohio’s median home price), you could expect to pay $241 in Ohio transfer taxes.
Another Transfer Tax Ohio Sellers Typically Pay
Counties in Ohio can impose an additional real property transfer tax (permissive tax) of up to three mills. One mill is equal to $1.00 per $1,000 of the property value. All 88 counties in Ohio, with the exception of Ross County, introduce an extra mill. You can enter your county’s mill levy rate into our calculator to get a better estimate of what you might owe.
