A Kentucky sale-cost rule
Check the real estate transfer tax on the deed
Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. State law makes the grantor—the seller—responsible, and the County Clerk collects the tax before the deed can be recorded. The taxable value includes the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over; recording fees are separate.
Some transfers are exempt, including certain foreclosure deeds, deeds between spouses, and certain transfers to government. Ask the title company whether an exemption applies to your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
