Outside NYC, you pay only the New York State transfer tax: 0.4% on sales under $3 million and 0.65% on sales of $3 million or more. Some counties and municipalities impose additional local taxes - notably in the Hamptons and parts of Westchester. Unlike NYC transactions, there is no city-level transfer tax. Check your municipality's requirements, as local surcharges can add 0.5% to 2% in certain high-value markets.
