Missouri sale rules
Transfer taxes and deed recording charges
Missouri's Constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on a real-estate sale or transfer after December 2, 2010. Recording fees still apply: state law sets $5 for the first page of a deed and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the exact charges for your documents.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“My husband retired from the Illinois State Library after thirty-one years. We'd talked about moving to Florida for years. The house in North Glenwood was fine — just bigger than we needed. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer. We closed in eight days and were in Sarasota before the weather turned cold.”
“I owned a rental on Maywood Drive for six years. Fine until the tenant stopped paying and started subletting to three other people I had never approved. Code enforcement showed up twice. USA Home Buyers bought it with the tenants still inside. I didn't have to do a single eviction filing. Nine days from first call to closing.”
“I'm a state employee — when my position got transferred to Chicago, I had about six weeks to sort out my house on the south side of Springfield before I needed to be up there. I didn't have time for showings, inspections, or waiting on a buyer's mortgage. USA Home Buyers gave me a written offer within 24 hours and we closed in ten days.”

Farmington home seller resource questions
Does Missouri have a real-estate transfer tax on a house sale?
Missouri’s Constitution bars state, county, and local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Deed recording fees still apply; see the state sources above and ask the title or closing professional to confirm the charges for your documents.
What recording fees apply when a deed is recorded?
State law sets a fee of $5 for the first deed page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The exact recording charges depend on the documents being recorded, so ask the title or closing professional to confirm the total.
Which record helps with assessed value, unpaid taxes, a deed, or a court judgment?
Those are different records: an assessor handles assessed value, a tax collector handles property-tax balances, a recorder of deeds handles recorded land documents, and a court or court clerk handles judgments. Use the parcel record, tax bill, recorded document, or court notice you have to identify the right official contact and confirm the current status. A title professional can help connect property-specific records to a sale.
When I sell to USA Home Buyers, which closing costs do you pay?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
An assessed value, property-tax balance, recorded deed, and court judgment are different records. Use the current parcel record, tax bill, recorded document, or court notice to identify the right official contact for that question; a title professional can help explain how a property-specific record affects a sale.
