Deeds Excise Tax - Historic Charts

We’ve added charts showing the amount of Deeds Excise Tax charged through the years to our website (follow the “Regular Users” link). We have four: 1940 to 1967; 1968 to 1969; one effective July 1989, and another from January 5, 1993 to the present. We will add Deeds Excise Tax charts for other time periods as soon as we get them. What’s the use of having outdated tax charts? Older deeds often do not state the sales price of the property, but they do have clearly visible tax stamps. If you can read the cost of the tax stamps (which you usually can), you can use the tax chart for the time the deed was executed to calculate the approximate sales price. If anyone has a copy of Deeds Excise Tax charts for past years, please fax us a copy at 978/322-9001.
