A Tennessee sale-cost rule

Tennessee realty transfer tax is charged when a deed is recorded

Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax of 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property’s value, whichever is greater. If the higher of the price paid or the property’s value is $100,000, the tax is $370. State law says the buyer pays it, and the county Register of Deeds collects it for the state. Some transfers are exempt, including certain transfers between spouses, divorce settlements, an executor’s deed carrying out a will, and transfers into or out of a revocable living trust.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee's realty transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
