Grantor tax is separate from deed recordation taxes
Virginia taxes a deed when it is recorded. The state grantor tax is 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value — about 0.1%. State law assigns that tax to the seller, though the sale contract can shift who pays. Separate state recordation taxes and, where adopted, local recordation taxes may also apply.
Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount. Ask the settlement agent to confirm the figures for your transaction.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee.
That covers closing costs; your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
