Michigan selling cost
On an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan’s state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property’s value at the time of sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another $0.55 for each $500, or part. The seller is generally responsible under state law. State and county exemptions are separate, so check the property’s county, sale value, and any exemption with the closing professional for the actual sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
