Welcome Tax


Transfer of Property Tax or “Welcome Tax”

The tax, which is based on the selling price or on the M.U.C. evaluation of the property whatever is greater. It will be calculated as follows:

.005Of the first$ 50,000($ 1.00 - $ 50,000)
.01Of the next$ 200,000($ 50,001 - $ 250,000)
.015Of the balance ($ 250,000 ...............)

After you have signed the deed of sale at the notary’s office, the municipality will send you an invoice shortly after you have moved into your new home. We are glad to have you, come again!
