Pennsylvania imposes a realty transfer tax on every deed which is presented for recording based on the total amount of actual consideration. Usually, the transfer tax collected is a total rate of 2% of the actual consideration paid: 1% transfer tax goes to PA and the other 1% goes to the local governments. In some Counties, there are local governments that increase or decrease the local portion of the transfer tax to a percentage other than 1%, while the PA 1% portion remains the same.

Please view the attached memo for additional information and a list of the local governments where some amount other than 1% transfer tax is imposed.
