Closing Cost in North Dakota

North Dakota does not impose a real estate transfer tax, so the state-level closing cost for that component is zero percent. The state’s governing authority, codified in the North Dakota Century Code, provides only for recording fees when a deed or mortgage is filed with the county recorder. No separate transfer tax is levied on the sale price or loan amount at closing. The worked example below demonstrates how the calculation proceeds using only those recording fees. Because each county sets its own recording fee schedule, the exact amount depends on the number of pages and documents recorded. To estimate total closing costs for a specific transaction, use the DocketMath calculator, which applies the current county rates.
