Minnesota selling cost
Ask the closing professional to confirm the property’s county, taxable amount, and any exemption before relying on a transfer-tax figure. For an ordinary taxable transfer with net consideration over $3,000, Minnesota deed tax is 0.33% of that amount. Hennepin County adds a 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax, for a combined rate of 0.34%. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax. State law generally makes the seller liable for deed tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Minnesota deed tax and applicable Hennepin or Ramsey County Environmental Response Fund tax.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from that closing-cost promise.
