Helpful North Carolina rule

Excise tax when a deed transfers a house

North Carolina charges an excise tax when a deed transfers real estate: $1 for each $500 of the price or value, and any part of $500 counts as a full $500. State law requires payment to the county Register of Deeds before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, including certain gifts and transfers by will or inheritance. If you think an exemption may apply, ask the closing professional to check the transfer before the deed is recorded.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
