A Pennsylvania transfer-tax fact
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty transfer tax on taxable transfers; local tax may also apply and depends on the property’s municipality and school district. See the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue realty transfer tax information ↗. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
