Estimate the City & County of San Francisco real property transfer tax due on a sale.
| Consideration or value | Per $500 | Rate |

The tax is charged on the full sale price at the rate for its tier — it is not tiered like income tax, so crossing a threshold re-prices the entire amount. The taxable amount is rounded up to the next full $500 before the rate is applied. Transfers of $100 or less are not taxed.
Estimate only, for the City & County of San Francisco. Rates current as of August 2026. Excludes recording fees and any exemptions or credits (gifts, transfers between spouses, trust transfers, seismic-retrofit and affordable-housing credits, partial-interest transfers, and others), which can change or eliminate the tax owed. Confirm with the SF Office of the Assessor-Recorder, your title company, or your attorney before relying on these figures.
