Pennsylvania realty transfer-tax information

Pennsylvania’s state realty transfer tax is 1% on taxable transfers, and a local tax may also apply (Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, Realty Transfer Tax). When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Pennsylvania

Homeowner counseling and mortgage assistance

For certain delinquent mortgages on a Pennsylvania one- or two-family home that is the borrower’s principal residence, the lender must send an Act 91 notice before filing for foreclosure. If you receive one and want the Homeowners’ Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program (HEMAP), meet a designated housing counselor within 33 days; the counselor then has 30 days from that meeting to submit an application to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA). HEMAP is a state mortgage-assistance loan program. (Act 91; PHFA HEMAP guidance.)
