Washington seller rule
Washington calls its transfer tax the real estate excise tax (REET). The Department of Revenue says the seller generally pays it; if the seller does not pay, the buyer is responsible, and unpaid REET can become a lien on the property. The state portion is graduated by taxable selling price and classification, and local REET is added, so the exact amount depends on the property’s location and transaction. Ask the settlement agent to confirm the current rate, any exemption, and the amount on the REET affidavit and settlement statement.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Washington real estate excise tax.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. See the Washington Department of Revenue REET guidance ↗ and the Skagit County REET information ↗.
