A North Carolina sale cost
North Carolina charges an excise tax on a taxable deed transfer at $1 for each $500 of the price or value, with any part of $500 counted as a full $500. The seller pays it to the county Register of Deeds before the deed is recorded, unless an exemption applies. If you are comparing a sale, the title company can confirm the amount and whether an exemption fits your transaction.
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.
