For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan’s state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property’s value, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another $0.55 for each $500, or part. State and county exemptions are separate, so the county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the actual sale. State law generally assigns the tax to the seller. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes.
