- RE:
- City of Yonkers Real Estate Transfer Taxes
The City of Yonkers has recently amended its City Code reducing the time by which to pay the Yonkers Real Estate Transfer Tax. The Yonkers transfer tax return, which may be accessed through http://www.yonkersny.gov/Index.aspx?page=1178, states:
“The tax due thereon must be paid within seven (7) days after delivery of the deed by the grantor to the grantee but before the recording of such deed. A return must be filed by both the grantor and the grantee whether or not a tax is due thereon and although the consideration for the deed is $25,000 or less”
Previously the tax was required to be paid within thirty days.
