Area served: Tulare County · decedents’ estate matters

Civil Legal Filings: 221 S. Mooney Blvd., Room 201, Visalia, CA 93291. The court lists this courthouse as the Visalia (County Civic Center) location.
A California sale-cost rule
California counties charge documentary transfer tax at 55 cents for each $500 of value, or any fraction of $500, when the consideration is more than $100, not counting any lien or loan that stays on the property after the sale. Some cities impose their own tax, and some transfers are exempt. Do not assume a city tax applies in Visalia; ask the title company or escrow to confirm the property’s county, any city tax, taxable amount, and exemption.
State law addresses who is responsible for the tax, and a purchase agreement can allocate the cost between buyer and seller. Ask the title company or escrow to confirm the transaction-specific figures and show the allocation in the closing papers.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
