Transfer tax in Anoka County
Minnesota's transfer tax is the STATE Deed Tax at 0.0033 (0.33%) of net consideration ($1.65 minimum for consideration of $3,000 or less). This is a state-level tax, NOT a county tax, so county_transfer_tax_rate is null. Only Hennepin and Ramsey counties add a 0.0001 Environmental Response Fund (ERF) tax on top (combined 0.0034) — Anoka County does NOT levy this, so there is no county-specific add-on. The State Deed Tax is customarily paid by the SELLER in Minnesota. Recording fees are customarily paid by the buyer. Note the $5.00 conservation fee (MN Stat. 40A.152) is collected on every taxable deed and remains due in Anoka County even when the state deed tax is remitted in another county. No municipal/city transfer tax exists in Minnesota.
