Question: how much does it cost to transfer a deed in pa?
Answer: Think of the transfer tax (or tax stamp) as a sales tax on real estate. The State of Pennsylvania charges 1% of the sales price and the municipality and school district USUALLY charge 1% between them for a total of 2% (i.e. 2% X 100,000 = $2,000). By custom, the buyer and seller split the cost.
