What is the Delaware transfer tax rate?

Generally 4% total: 2.5% state plus 1.5% local where the town or county levies its full share. Confirm your jurisdiction with a title company.

Who pays Delaware transfer tax?

Buyer and seller customarily split it 50/50, but the contract can say otherwise.

Is there a first-time buyer break?

Yes. Eligible first-time buyers get a 0.5% reduction on the state portion of their share, capped at $2,000. Some towns, like Milford, also waive their local share for all-first-time buyers.
