For Distribution of the Net Proceeds of the Real Property Transfer Tax - CTA Portion
$62.8 million
Exact amount: $62,789,053.00
Calendar year 2026
One pass-through, so there is nothing to split. Since 2008-04-01 the City adds $1.50 for every $500 of a property's sale price ('CTA portion') on top of its own $3.75 ('City portion'), $5.25 in all. The seller pays the CTA portion by default. The City collects it, keeps $634,233 to cover collection costs, and sends the rest to the CTA, which uses it in its operating budget.
This is the CTA's share of a tax people pay when they sell a home or building. The City passes it straight to the CTA, so there is nothing smaller to show here.
This box has no smaller boxes to open.
