Conveyances

A $2 local conveyance fee is due for all real estate transfers when any consideration was paid
For conveyances of real property or permanent easements, you must submit a completed (original) State of Connecticut Real Estate Conveyance Tax Return (M-45). The state will not accept copies. This form must be accompanied by:
- A check for local conveyance taxes, made payable to the Town of Coventry. The local conveyance rate is .0025 pursuant to CGS 12-494(a) as amended
- A separate check for state conveyance taxes, made payable to the Commissioner of Revenue Services for any conveyance of $2,000 or more. Tax calculation instructions are given on Form M-45 and are specific to the type of transaction
For conveyances that are statutorily exempt or that are for no consideration, Form M-45 must still be completed and submitted, indicating reason for exemption. Exemption codes are given on reverse side of Form M-45
Additional conveyance Information is available at the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services website.
