Transfer tax
Real Estate Conveyance Tax. Three dollars and seventy-five cents ($3.75) for each five hundred dollars ($500), or fractional part of it, that is paid for the purchase of property, when the consideration paid exceeds one hundred dollars ($100). The tax is collected when the document is recorded. (statewide, R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-25-1(a))
StatewideIn addition to the tax imposed by § 44-25-1(a), a tax of $3.75 for each $500, or fractional part of it, is imposed on the consideration in excess of the threshold paid for residential real property (R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-25-1(b)). The statute sets the threshold at $800,000 and adjusts it by CPI-U for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Division of Taxation gives the Tier 2 threshold for calendar year 2026 as $824,000. Where no consideration is paid, the instrument of conveyance must contain a statement that the consideration is such that no documentary stamps are required (§ 44-25-1(c)).
