If you live in the city of San Jose Measure E is an ADDITIONAL Transfer Tax applied at varying increments on sale of real property over $2 Million. Under Measure E, the Transfer Tax would be imposed whenever a deed, instrument, or writing, whether recorded or not, transfers real property in the City of San Jose for consideration. Again, this is in addition to the regular City and County Transfer taxes that currently apply within the City of San Jose.

Consideration means the amount paid for, or the value of, the transferred property and includes the amount of any debt and special assessments secured by the transferred property.

The Transfer Tax would also apply to a transfer of ownership interests in a legal entity (e.g., a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company) that would be considered an ownership change of real property under State law. Payment of the tax is the responsibility of the parties to the transfer and may be paid by either party.

Transfers under $2,000,000 would be exempt from this additional Transfer Tax. Transfers of $2,000,000 or more would be taxed at one of the following rates applied to the full value of the consideration:

Property Value                              Tax Rate

Less than $2,000,000                 exempt from tax

$2,000,000 to $5,000,000                  0.75%

$5,000,000.01 to $10,000,000            1.0%

$10,000,000.01 and higher                 1.5%

 For example, a transfer of real property where the value of consideration is $11,000,000 would be taxed at a rate of 1.5% on the entire $11,000,000. The tax owed would be $165,000.

The Transfer Tax includes other exemptions as well including transfers involving gifts, inheritance, divorce, and bankruptcy, in certain circumstances.

If you have any questions or have any other information you would like to share please contact me any time I am always happy to hear from you.

On June 22nd, National Onion Rings Day recognizes a batter-dipped, deep-fried bite of deliciousness that runs rings around other appetizers.

Also found in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and some parts of Asia, onion rings exact origin are unknown.

• A recipe called “Fried Onions with Parmesan Cheese” is included in John Mollard’s 1802 cookbook The Art of Cookery Made Easy and Refined. Within the recipe, it suggests cutting onions into 1/2 inch rings, dipping them into a batter made of flour, cream, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese then deep-frying them in boiling lard. It also recommends serving them with a sauce made of melted butter and mustard.
• Some believe that a recipe for French Fried Onions (not claiming to be the originator of the recipe) appeared in the Middletown, NY Daily Times on January 13, 1910.
• The Pig Stand restaurant chain, established in Oak Cliff, Texas in the early 1920s, is one of the claimants to the onion rings invention.
• A recipe for deep-fried onion rings dipped in milk then dredged in flour appeared in a 1933 Crisco advertisement in The New York Times Magazine.  
• In the 1960s, the A&W restaurant is credited with popularizing the onion rings in fast food restaurants.

Many agree onion rings taste best hot from the fryer. Whether you dip them in a sauce or not is up to you. There are plenty to choose from these days, too. Sweet, spicy, salt and vinegar, and everything in between.
