But do you know what a "tax stamp" is? My bank says there is one in New York and I would expect to pay $2800 on a $350K house. Are they completely wrong? Thanks Mike for your help! I really appreciate this, I just don't want any surprises. - Sat Apr 5 2008, 16:53
It is not new construction. Is this the same thing as a "tax stamp"? Also, we got an accepted offer, but I did not mention anything about the transfer tax. Before we sign a contract, should I make sure they pay it? - Sat Apr 5 2008, 16:10
