RE:
Peekskill Transfer Tax
Please be advised that commencing December 1, 2010, the City of Peekskill will be imposing a one percent (1%) transfer tax for "all deeds delivered by a grantor to a grantee on or after said effective date". The 1% is based on the sales price.
The tax is required to be paid within thirty days after delivery of the deed and prior to recording. The tax is to be paid directly to the City of Peekskill. Agents are advised that they should be picking up the tax at closing.
Tax Law Section 1206 provides that "such taxes shall not apply if the contract for any such conveyance was made prior to September 1, 2007".
Attached hereto please see the relevant forms.
