Transfer Tax Down In Flames
May 14th, 2008 categories: Around Town, Real Estate Market, Real Estate News
The residents of Orange County soundly defeated the County’s attempt to institute a transfer tax on the sale of homes in Orange County. Excellent! In a time of rising gas prices, rising food prices, rising prices for darn near everything, the last thing we need is local government sticking us for more taxes. In my opinion, they already have plenty of tax revenue for everything they really need to do,
The transfer tax would have been passed along to buyers and sellers, thereby raising the price of buying a home.
Well done voters of Orange County!
