- In the states which I know that a transfer tax is levied (e.g. Maryland, Virginia, DC), it is impossible for the buyer to close without the buyer and/or seller (as agreed per contract) paying this tax at closing. It is then paid to the jurisdiction upon recrding the sale, so there is no question of non-payment. Viva-Verdi (talk) 21:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Up to 6.5% in Germany
editIn Germany, the real estate transfer tax is up to 6.5% according to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunderwerbsteuer_(Deutschland) and the German sources quoted there. Unfortunately, I do not know an english source to quote the German rates from. Is it ok to link to a German source? Epaminaidos (talk) 19:18, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
