New Hampshire has one of the highest real estate transfer tax rates in New England. The state levies a Real Estate Transfer Tax of $15.00 per $1,000 of sale price, split evenly between buyer and seller — so the seller's share is $7.50 per $1,000. On a $100,000 land sale, that's $750 coming out of your proceeds before you count a broker commission. On a $200,000 parcel, it's $1,500. Stack that against a 5-6% agent fee and a traditional sale costs significantly more than most sellers expect.
Selling directly to Sell My Land US eliminates the commission entirely. We also cover our portion of the transfer tax and all closing costs — which means more of the purchase price ends up in your pocket.
New Hampshire's rural land market — particularly in Coos County, Carroll County, and the Connecticut Lakes region — is thin. Properties can sit for months or longer without a buyer. If you own unwanted land up north, inherited a parcel, or simply have no use for acreage you purchased years ago, a direct cash sale is the practical path.
Not legal or tax advice. Consult a New Hampshire attorney or CPA before making any title or tax decisions.

Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT): New Hampshire's RETT is $15.00 per $1,000 of consideration — among the highest in New England — split equally between buyer and seller ($7.50 per $1,000 each). The minimum tax is $20. This applies to all real property transfers including land-only sales. We pay our buyer's share; the seller's share comes from closing proceeds.
Attorney-closing state: New Hampshire requires a licensed attorney to conduct real estate closings. The closing attorney prepares the deed, certifies title, affixes RETT stamps, and disburses funds. We coordinate experienced NH closing attorneys — you don't need to find one.
Tax-lien state: New Hampshire uses a tax-lien system. After two years of delinquent taxes, the municipality can execute a tax lien on the property. After two additional years the municipality can pursue a Tax Collector's Deed. If your land has delinquent taxes, selling now protects your equity.
