The tax is computed upon the full consideration of the transfer. Documents where the value of the consideration is less than $100.00 are exempt. For other exemptions see the appropriate Act. The reason for the exemption must be shown on the face of the document. County transfer tax is payable at the rate of $.55 per $500.00 ($1.10 per $1,000) consideration.
