The majority of local taxing jurisdictions in Pennsylvania impose a 1% realty transfer tax which is shared between the school district and municipality in addition to the Commonwealth’s 1% Realty Transfer Tax. The state tax is collected from the purchaser, while the local tax is collected from the seller.

The combined realty transfer tax rate (not including the state tax) exceeds 1% in 23 home rule municipalities, and is less than 1% in 58 municipalities. No realty transfer taxes are imposed by the municipality or school district in four municipalities.
