Effective July 19, 2026, Nebraska's Real Estate Transfer Tax (Documentary Stamp Tax) will increase by $1.00 per $1,000 of property value as a result of LB1067.
The current transfer tax rate of $2.32 per $1,000 will increase to $3.32 per $1,000 for deeds recorded on or after July 19.
The additional revenue generated by this increase will be directed to the Rural Workforce Housing Investment Fund and the Middle-Income Workforce Housing Investment Fund.
Action Required - Please review and update any:
- Closing worksheets
- Net sheets
- Seller proceeds estimates
- Transaction calculators
- Brokerage forms or templates that calculate documentary stamp tax
To ensure accuracy, transactions closing on or after July 19 should reflect the new rate of $3.32 per $1,000 of value.
