Thank you for your inquiry! There very well may be a transfer tax that will apply. Much of it will depend on the specific type of refi you are performing. My suggestion would be to check with a local title company or settlement attorney for verification. You may also want to check with the title company that handled your settlement 2 years ago. It’s important to note, however, that most lenders/banks tend to over-estimate the anticipated charges these days due to regulatory concerns. The feds now hold mortgage comapnies responsible for under-estimates even on items they do not have any contropl over, such as transfer taxes. Sign of the times….
Best of luck and feel free to call me to compare rate offerings.
