A sale cost to check
Alabama charges deed tax when a deed is recorded with the county probate judge: 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. Taxable value may be reduced by a mortgage or vendor's lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid; the closing attorney confirms any deduction. The deed must include proof of the actual price or value. Without proof, the Probate Office uses the latest tax assessment, and penalties can apply. The tax and recording fees are due before recording. Some deeds are exempt, including certain nominal-price deeds that only correct title. Ask the closing attorney about the taxable value and proof for your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
