The Nantucket Islands Land Bank gained $307,600 in transfer tax fees for the week ending Feb. 3. For 2007, the Land Bank gained an estimated total of $1,842,572.92 in transfer fees. Land bank income is derived mostly from the collection of a two-percent transfer tax on real estate transactions, subject to certain exemptions. The land bank acquires, holds, and manages land for open space and recreation on Nantucket. Other revenue sources include investments, private contributions, leasing of the Lily Pond Cottage at 15 North Liberty St., and properties at 2 Massasoit Bridge Road, 159 Hummock Pond Road, and 22 Broad St.
NOTES ON EXEMPTIONS Many of the property transfers recorded with the Land Bank are exempt from the 2-percent transfer fee using one of 13 exemptions allowed by the Land Bank Act as follows: A; transfer to government entity, B; transfer which, without additional consideration, confirms, corrects, modifies, or supplements a previously made transfer, C; transfer made as a gift without consideration, D; certain transfers to and from a trust, E; transfer via death or bankruptcy, F; transfer made in partition of land and improvements, G; transfer to charitable organizations, H; transfer to a mortgagee in foreclosure of the mortgage, I; certain transfers made to or within a corporation or partnership, J; certain transfers out of a corporation or partnership, K; transfer due to divorce, L; transfer of property that is partially personal property and partially real property, M; certain first-time property buyers (applies to the first $400,000).
The above explanations are abbreviated because the language explaining these exemptions is too lengthy to print in this section every week. If you're curious about a certain exemption, go to the Nantucket Islands Land Bank Web site for complete information on the exemptions and the land bank's governing bylaws: http://www.nantucketlandbank.org.
