Property Located In More Than One Municipality

Grantors who transfer property located in more than one municipality must allocate the conveyance tax among the municipalities. If the Grantor presents the recorder of deeds with a certified appraisal by a licensed appraiser, setting forth the value of the specific property located in each municipality, then such figures shall be used in determining the conveyance tax.  

In the alternative, the tax for each municipality may be allocated in proportion to the assessed value of the real property in each municipality.  NOTE:  The total assessed value will likely be different from and less than the total consideration.  The assessed values are used ONLY to determine the PERCENTAGE RATIO of value, and not the actual value, which is based on the consideration paid.
