How closings work in Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, closings are typically handled by a title company. Property taxes are paid to the county, municipality, and school district, and older housing stock can bring lead-paint, knob-and-tube, or well-and-septic questions into the appraisal.
Transfer and recording taxes. Pennsylvania charges a state realty transfer tax of 1 percent of the value of the property, and the municipality and school district usually add a local tax on top; the local rate differs from place to place and is higher in some cities. Under state law the buyer and the seller are both responsible for the tax. How it is divided is set in the agreement of sale. Source: Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, realty transfer tax. Property taxes are set locally; we take the figure from the tax record for the address.
