A Pennsylvania transfer-tax fact
Pennsylvania’s state realty transfer tax is 1% on taxable transfers of real estate. Local transfer-tax amounts can depend on the property’s municipality. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
