In this informative video, we will break down the process of calculating transfer taxes, which are fees imposed by state or local governments when ownership of a property changes hands. We’ll discuss how these taxes are determined based on the sale price or fair market value of the home, along with the varying tax rates set by local jurisdictions. We’ll also cover the different methods of calculating these taxes, including flat percentages and tiered rates, and explain how local transfer taxes may apply.
