This Act alters the State realty transfer tax credit offered to first-time home buyers. Currently, there is a 0.50% reduction in the State realty transfer tax for first-time home buyers for the first $400,000 of value of the property. This Act completely exempts the first $250,000 of value of property purchased by a first-time home buyer from their portion of the State realty transfer tax and removes the first-time homebuyer tax credit for property valued at $1,000,000 or more. Between $250,000 and $1,000,000, this Act establishes the realty transfer tax applicable to a first-time homebuyer as follows: (1) For property valued from $250,001 through $300,000, the realty transfer tax is reduced to 0.25%. (2) For property valued from $300,001 through $350,000, the realty transfer tax is reduced to 0.50%. (3) For property valued from $350,001 through $400,000, the realty transfer tax is reduced to 0.75%. (4) For property valued from $400,001 through $999,999, the realty transfer tax is reduced by an amount equal to 0.50% multiplied by $400,000. This provides property valued from $400,001 through $999,999 the current realty transfer tax credit offered to first-time home buyers. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
