Michigan sale rule
State and county real estate transfer taxes
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan's state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value, or part of $500. 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. The seller is generally responsible under state law; state and county exemptions are separate, so the property's county, sale value, and any exemption affect the actual tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. The title company checks the figures for the sale.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Lansing seller resource questions
What does a Register of Deeds handle?
Each county Register of Deeds handles recorded deeds and land-document questions for its county. The official county links are listed above.
Where do property assessments, tax balances, and court judgments belong?
A property assessment comes from the assessing office for the property. The Treasurer links above cover county tax records or tax-sale information. A court judgment is a court record, not a deed, so use the court and case named on its paperwork. If a record may affect a sale, we can work with the title company to review the property-specific details.
Where should I start with a court judgment?
A judgment belongs to the court and case shown on its paperwork, not the Register of Deeds. If it may affect a sale, we can work with the title company to review the property-specific details.
