How the New Hampshire Transfer Tax is Calculated

New Hampshire’s transfer tax, known as a Real Estate Transfer Tax, is calculated at a rate of $1.50 per $100, of the property’s sale price. This is typically split between the buyer and the seller.

For example, if you sold your home for $483,000 (New Hampshire’s median home price), you could expect to pay $3,622 in New Hampshire transfer taxes.

Does the Seller Always Pay the New Hampshire Transfer Tax?

While it’s customary for the seller to pay the New Hampshire transfer tax, who pays can sometimes be a point of negotiation between the buyer and seller during the closing process.

Some New Hampshire home sales may be exempt, such as:

Non-contractual transfers
Transfers between spouses under a final decree of divorce or nullity
Filing of a deed or other instrument that corrects a deed
Transfers to the state of New Hampshire or counties within the state
Transfers of cemetery plots
