A Michigan seller rule

Check the state and county transfer taxes for the sale

For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan 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. The county real estate transfer 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, $860 total. Michigan state law generally makes the seller responsible for the state tax. State and county exemptions are separate, so check the property’s county, sale value, and any exemption for the actual sale.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts.
