A Kentucky sale-cost rule
Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500—about 0.1%. The grantor, meaning the seller, owes it, and the County Clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. The taxable value includes the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over; deed-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.
