            Revenue Administration

WHAT IS REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX?  
It is a tax on the transfer, sale, or granting of real property or an interest in real property. Where the price or consideration is $4,000 or less there 
is a minimum tax of $20 to both, the purchaser and the seller. The tax rate from 7/1/99 to present is $0.75 per $100 . 

WHAT IS FAIR MARKET VALUE?  
Rev 801.04 "Fair market value" means the price property would command in an arms length transaction if sold by a seller who is willing, but not 
compelled, to sell and purchased by a purchaser who is willing, but not compelled, to purchase. 

WHAT IS PRICE OR CONSIDERATION?  
Price or consideration means the amount of money, other property and services, or property or services valued in money which is given in 
exchange for real estate, and measured at a time immediately after the transfer of the real estate. 

WHEN TO FILE  
A Declaration of Consideration (Form CD-57-P) and an Inventory of Property Transfer (Form PA-34) formally known as Real Estate  Transfer 
Questionnaire, must be filed with the NH Department of Revenue Administration (NH DRA) within 30 days of recording the deed. 

WHO MUST FILE 
For all contractual transfers , and non-contractual transfers under RSA 78-B:2, IX, the purchaser, grantee, assignee, or transferee must file and 
sign the Declaration CD-57-P. 

ARE THERE EXEMPTIONS FOR PAYMENT OF THE TAX? 
Every transfer, sale or granting of real property or an interest in real property is taxable unless exempted by statute. Please refer to the list of 
exemptions under RSA 78-B:2. Please note that the Form CD-57-P is not required for transfers exempted by RSA 78-B:2, except transfers 
exempted by RSA 78-B:2, IX. 

WHO MUST PAY? 
The tax is assessed on both     the purchaser and the seller, with a minimum charge of $20 each. The tax is paid at the Register of Deeds office in 
the county where the property is located. DO NOT send the tax payment with this Declaration. 

WHERE TO FILE 
File online at Granite Tax Connect www.revenue.nh.gov/gtc or mail to NH DRA, Taxpayer Services Division, PO Box 3308, Concord,  NH 
03302-3308. 

PENALTIES 
FAILURE TO FILE: If a return is not filed on a timely basis, a failure to file penalty equal to 5% of the outstanding balance, with a minimum of $10 
per month, is charged for each of the first five months or parts thereof after the return is due.  The total amount of this penalty shall not exceed 
25% of the balance of tax due or $50, whichever is greater. 

FAILURE TO PAY: A penalty equal to 10% of any nonpayment or underpayment of taxes shall be imposed if the taxpayer fails to pay when due.  If 
the failure to pay is due to fraud, the penalty shall be 50% of the amount of nonpayment or underpayment. 

In addition, there is a penalty equal to 100% of the additional tax due if either the buyer or seller makes a false statement on either the
transfer tax form or deed that no tax is due, or pays tax on less than the actual price or consideration for the transfer. The 100% false
statement penalty is in lieu of the 10% late payment penalty.
