Understanding Maryland Closing Costs

Maryland closing costs are among the highest in the region due to the combination of state and county transfer taxes. Buyers typically pay 3% to 5% of the purchase price; sellers pay 1% to 3%.

Maryland Transfer Taxes

State Transfer Tax: 0.5% (1.0% if buyer will not use as primary residence)
Montgomery County: 1.0% county transfer tax
Prince George's County: 1.4% county transfer tax
State Recordation Tax: $6.60 per $1,000 (Montgomery) or varies by county

Maryland also has a property tax disclosure and first-time homebuyer exemption on transfer taxes in many counties.
