City of Baraboo Building Permits ↗Wisconsin selling costs
On a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That is $300 on a $100,000 sale. The fee is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate.
When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
The transfer fee is separate from a mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from that promise.
