Connecticut land values, taxes, and selling rules
Connecticut charges a state transfer tax: state conveyance tax of 0.75% of consideration (rate for unimproved land and ordinary sales) plus a 0.25% municipal conveyance tax, about 1.0% total. The residential condition report applies only to transfers of residential real property of one to four dwelling units, so vacant land is outside it.
