Useful Kentucky and local rules
Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500—about 0.1%. The grantor, meaning the seller, owes it by law. Value is the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over, and the County Clerk collects the tax before the deed can be recorded. Recording fees are separate.
Some transfers are exempt, including certain foreclosure deeds, deeds between spouses, and certain transfers to government. Ask the title company whether an exemption applies to your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
The City of Benton’s online property-tax service handles City taxes; the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office collects county taxes. Contact Benton Code Enforcement about a City code concern and the County Building Office about construction permits or inspections.
