If your house is rented and within Pine City, check the City's rental information and ask City Hall which requirements apply to that address. City rental and building rules apply within city limits; a Pine City mailing address alone does not settle whether the property is inside the City.
A taxable Minnesota deed transfer with net consideration—the amount state law uses to calculate the tax—over $3,000 is generally subject to deed tax at 0.33% of that amount. Minnesota law generally makes the seller liable for the tax. Hennepin and Ramsey Counties add a separate 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax; Pine County is not one of those counties. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax, so the closing professional confirms the property county and taxable amount.
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.
Ask the closing professional to confirm the property's county, taxable amount, and any exemption for your transaction. If you sell to us, ask to see the closing figures with your written terms.
