Moving to a new home is an exciting but overwhelming experience. Among the numerous tasks involved, transferring ownership and dealing with local taxes can be particularly challenging. Many individuals rely on professionals to handle these matters, assuming that they will be accurately executed. However, time and again, it has been observed that local tax calculations during the ownership transfer process can be prone to errors.

It is crucial to have a clear understanding of the costs associated with transferring ownership, including local taxes. Local taxes often include the deed tax, land value-added tax, and individual income tax on the property transaction. These taxes are calculated based on the transaction price or the assessed value of the property, depending on local regulations. Due to the complexity of these calculations and the potential for errors, it is advisable to calculate the fees yourself or cross-verify any calculations provided by professionals.

Various factors can contribute to miscalculations during the ownership transfer process. Firstly, different areas may have unique regulations regarding local taxes, which can lead to confusion and incorrect calculations. The tax rates and calculation methods can vary from city to city or even within different districts of the same city. This variety often results in professionals unfamiliar with the local regulations making errors that homeowners might not notice immediately.

Secondly, there is a possibility of human error when professionals handle the tax calculations. Even the most experienced experts are not immune to mistakes, especially when dealing with different tax rates, deductions, and exemptions. Due to the complexity of these calculations, a small oversight can lead to significant discrepancies. It is crucial for homeowners to be vigilant and check all calculations meticulously.

A case in point is the personal experience of the author, who encountered multiple instances where local taxes were incorrectly calculated during the ownership transfer. These miscalculations led to unexpected additional costs, causing frustration and financial inconvenience. This highlights the importance of verifying all calculations and questioning any discrepancies promptly.

To avoid such errors, homeowners should take the initiative to familiarize themselves with the local tax regulations. Understanding the calculations involved allows for effective oversight and helps identify any potential mistakes. Several resources are available, including government websites and local tax offices, providing information on tax rates, exemptions, and calculation methods. Consulting these resources can assist homeowners in double-checking the work done by professionals.

Furthermore, seeking a second opinion from different professionals can minimize the risk of errors. Engaging independent experts to review the calculations can provide an additional layer of assurance. If discrepancies are identified, homeowners can resolve them before finalizing the ownership transfer and avoid unnecessary expenses or complications in the future.

In conclusion, when transferring ownership of a property, it is essential to be diligent and proactive in calculating and reviewing local taxes. Despite relying on professionals, it is not uncommon for errors to occur during the ownership transfer process. Therefore, homeowners are strongly advised to be well-informed about local tax regulations, cross-verify calculations, and seek second opinions. By taking these precautionary measures, individuals can ensure a smooth and accurate transfer of ownership, minimizing unexpected expenses and grievances associated with miscalculated local taxes.

    8:57 没有说准备个什么文件把这些问题都集中起来让卖方签字确认么?这样算错啥的之后也可以反诉

  2. Shawn Z

    数额不大不是专门有个小额法庭么?流程啥的都简化很多,不如刚好试试~

  3. Heather Han

    我也有类似的经历。我买房是用的现金,有一项是和贷款有关的费用,过户时费用出现在Estimated Closing Statement上。还好看到了,及时更正。

  4. Charles S

    在佛州买过几套投资房都是卖家自住房,之前有Homestead Exemption的减免。过户当年我们付的地税也包括了原房主的减免,次年才付全额。

  5. 冯姮

    麻州这边一些town叫做 residential tax exemption. 我们town是规定 下一年的减免资格要上一个财年就申请;所以如果卖家之前没申请过,过户后要等自己的自主减免生效后才能真的享受到减免。

  6. Sa Zhao Louvot

    一般都是这样算的。

  7. Shijun Song

    有的州自住credit (或叫exemption), 是一年申请一次, 比如按照某年1月1日时这个房子是否自住来确定qualification. 房产过户并不影响当年的status, 新房主会在下一年申请窗口重新申请. 所以非自住房主把房子卖给自住房主, 买方前半年可能略微多付一些地税, 反之买方可能会少付.

  8. 选择的权利

    我们这边买房子 买家卖家是不见面的

  9. Fish Eye

    Star credit 是可以查到的。是公开信息。而且这个credit不是你随时可以申请的,每年只有一个时间可以申请好像是年初。所以你现在接手房子是申请不了star credit的。也是要等到明年。

    钱姐非常非常漂亮

  11. Bin Guo

    对,我朋友买房子就遇到过地税算错的情况

  12. Hannah H

    特别同意钱姐说的,自己的事还是要自己上心。对于你可能是一生一次的大投资但是对于律师楼里的打工人就是一个case。这也是你不理财,财不理你的一种。

  13. Yiwei Liu

    我买房时候律师给我多算了一次 move in fee (co op). 几百块钱,还好我当场看出来了,并且留下了用于支付的money order 的copy…

  14. chewiehunan

    今天眼妆好精致,特别有神❤❤❤

  15. M He

    有的地方是closing以后escrow account里还hold一些钱以应对之前没有估计到的费用,过一段时间尘埃落定后再该给谁给谁。

  16. janeinflushing

    算错地税当然找律师楼赔钱,这是他们的工作。

    90天内可以找回来。
