Estimate only. Who pays the stamp tax is negotiable and varies by deal. Recording, title, and legal fees are additional and modest — your title company will itemize them. Tax is assessed on the higher of price or assessed value. Confirm all figures with the Recorder of Deeds and your closing attorney. At Home Real Estate, LLC.
