Tuscola County Register of Deeds

Tuscola County · land records, deeds, recording requirements, and copies

A Michigan sale-cost fact

Check the state and county real estate transfer taxes

For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan's state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value at the time of sale, or part of $500. County tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500. At that county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax. The applicable county rate and any state or county exemption need to be checked for the actual property and sale. Michigan law generally assigns the tax to the seller.

Ask the title company to confirm the taxable value, county tax, and exemptions for your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.

Caro and Tuscola County resource questions

Which office handles an assessed value or assessment record?

Use Tuscola County Equalization for property assessment and valuation questions. Its contact is 989-672-3830 at 125 W. Lincoln St., Suite 200, Caro. The county site includes a City of Caro assessment-information section.

Where do I ask about delinquent property taxes?

Contact the Tuscola County Treasurer at 989-672-3890 about delinquent-property-tax questions and the assistance routes on its website. For a City of Caro tax question, use the City Treasurer—Taxes page. Assessment and tax collection are different tasks.

Does the Register of Deeds handle a court judgment?

The Tuscola County Register of Deeds handles land records, deed recording information, and copies. A court judgment is a court-record question, not a deed or assessment search. For a judgment, start with the court named on the case and ask its clerk how to find that record; the Probate Court contact listed here is for probate and estate information.

Where should I start with an inherited house or probate question?

Use the Tuscola County Probate Court’s published estate-information route at 989-672-3850. The correct estate status and who may sign depend on the actual records and circumstances, so have the property address and estate information available when you ask.

Who handles a Caro code or building-permit question?

The City of Caro publishes separate Code Enforcement and Planning and Zoning contacts. Tuscola County lists SAFEbuilt for building permits, inspections, and plan review. Confirm the property jurisdiction and project scope with the relevant office before relying on a route.

For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan’s state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of value or part of $500.
