How the New York City Transfer Tax is Calculated
New York City’s transfer tax, known as a Real Property Transfer Tax, is calculated at a rate of 1% of the property’s sale price. This applies to properties sold or transferred in an amount over $25,000.
These rates will vary depending on the type of property. For properties valued at less than $500,000, the rate is 1% of the price. For properties valued over $500,000, the rate is 1.425% of the price.
For example, if you sold your home for $436,000 (New York City’s median home price), you could expect to pay $6,104 in New York City transfer taxes.
