Seller.
What catches people out
Most Connecticut towns charge a 0.25 percent municipal conveyance tax. Southington is a targeted investment community, which lets it charge double. The state portion is graduated, so only the slice above $800,000 pays the higher rate. The municipal rate here was last confirmed in the legislature’s 2020 research report; check with the town clerk before closing.
