In most of Oregon, there are no transfer taxes imposed on the sale of real estate. This means that neither the buyer nor the seller is responsible for paying any transfer taxes at closing.
However, there is one exception: As mentioned earlier, Washington County charges a 0.05% transfer tax on the sale price of real estate. In this case, the seller would be responsible for paying this transfer tax at closing.
It’s important to remember that these are just general guidelines, and your specific closing costs may vary depending on several factors. It is always best to consult with a qualified real estate attorney or title company in Oregon for a more accurate estimate based on your individual situation.
