A Michigan sale cost to check
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan's state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of value at the time of sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part. At that county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, $860 total. State and county exemptions are separate, so the county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the actual sale. State law generally makes the seller responsible for the tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
