Helpful local rules

Check the tax notice and transfer-tax details

A tax-sale notice has a parcel-specific date

Mercer County Tax Claim handles delinquent real-estate taxes and tax-sale information. Under the Pennsylvania Real Estate Tax Sale Law, a delinquent tax may be paid from sale proceeds if the house sells before the tax-sale date and enough remains after other liens and closing costs. A sale agreement alone does not resolve the tax claim. Keep the notice and ask Tax Claim about the exact parcel and current sale status.

Confirm the transfer tax for the actual Hermitage deed

Pennsylvania has a state realty transfer tax. The Mercer County Recorders Office notice lists a 2.5% local component for taxable Hermitage documents; that is not a transaction-specific total. Ask the Recorders Office or title company to confirm the applicable tax, exemptions, and allocation.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
