CT Closing Costs is written and published by Ryan Holler, who works in the Connecticut real estate closing industry. It exists because the cost question is the one everybody asks first and almost nobody answers straight.
There is nothing to sign up for here and nothing being sold. Every figure on the site carries a citation to its source, and where a figure has no source yet it stays blank rather than becoming a guess.
Every rate, bracket, and dollar figure here cites a primary source. Conveyance tax figures come from the Connecticut General Assembly's Office of Legislative Research and the Department of Revenue Services, not from another site's summary of them.
Where a figure has no source yet, the page leaves it blank rather than estimating. A bracketed placeholder on a page means the number is genuinely not settled, and that is more useful than a plausible guess.
When something here turns out to be wrong, the page says so and carries the date it was fixed. Corrections are not quietly edited out. A site about numbers that hides its own errors is not worth reading.
One correction worth naming, because it circulates widely: several published lists of Connecticut municipal conveyance tax rates include West Haven among the towns charging 0.50%. West Haven is not an eligible municipality and charges the base 0.25%.
