A Michigan sale-cost rule
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan 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 55 cents for each $500, or part. At the 55-cent county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, $860 total. State and county exemptions are separate, so the actual county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the property.
State law generally makes the seller responsible for the transfer tax. Ask the title company to check the parcel’s county, applicable rate, and any exemption for the actual sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
