Section 710:30-1-8 - Property subject to the documentary stamp tax

(a) All property transferred by deed that is not specifically exempted by statute is subject to the documentary stamp tax, and shall be paid by either the grantee or the grantor. Some examples of property which are subject to the tax are:

(1) Mineral deeds;

(2) Sheriff's deeds. The tax is based on the amount bid for the property plus any other costs incurred by the purchaser. (See 710:30-1-5(b) for exception);

(3) A conveyance of realty in consideration of life maintenance. The tax will be based on the net value of the realty conveyed;

(4) Assumed and/or wraparound mortgages. The tax will be based on the balance of the mortgage plus any other valuable consideration exchanged;

(5) Realty traded. Documentary stamps will be required on both deeds if the deeds conveyed property. The tax will be based on the market value of the property conveyed; and

(6) Conveyance of property in forming a new corporation in exchange for stock of that corporation. The tax will be based on the original purchase price of the realty conveyed plus any improvements placed thereon since the original purchase. If the original purchase price can not be determined the tax will be based on the fair market value of the property conveyed.

(b) The properties listed in (a) of this Section are examples only and are not intended to be all-inclusive.
