Closing Cost in Texas

The state of Texas does not impose a real estate transfer tax, so the state-level closing cost from that source is zero percent. Instead of a transfer tax, Texas law requires a seller to pay a tax on the full sales price only if the transaction is recorded, but the rate is set by local county fee schedules, not a statewide percentage. The relevant statutes, available at https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/, outline the recording fees and other charges that may apply. The worked example below illustrates how local recording fees are calculated based on the deed’s value. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate your specific closing costs under Texas law.
