Missouri sale rules

Transfer taxes and deed-recording fees are different

Missouri’s constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Deed recording is separate: state law sets a fee of $5 for the first page of a deed and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional can confirm the exact recording charges for your documents.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
