Understanding the NH real estate Transfer Tax
In the State of New Hampshire, buyers and sellers are charged a fee at closing called a NH real estate
transfer tax. It is sometimes referred to as NH tax stamps.
The fee charged by the state of New Hampshire is $15 per $1000 of the sales price (as of 2008).
For example, if the sale price was $200,000 the fee charged for the NH real estate transfer tax would be
$15 X 200 or $3000. The fee is split equally between the buyer and the seller.
In this example both the buyer and the seller would each pay $1500 to the State of New Hamsphire.
This is collected at closing and paid directly to the state of New Hampshire by the closing company or
attorney handling the closing.
