DOC STAMP INCREASE EFFECTIVE JULY 19

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.
