Transfer tax will be collected on the consideration stated in the deed. The tax will be imposed upon the grantor at the rate of 50 cents per $500 of value or fraction thereof.
On a deed of correction, transfer tax will only be collected if the amount of consideration has changed. A deed cannot be legally lodged for record until the tax due is paid.
These fees are subject to change without notice. Check with the county clerk's recording division directly to confirm amounts.
