Nebraska property tax proration at closing based on calendar year transfer

Nebraska law requires that property taxes be prorated between buyer and seller at closing based on the calendar year in which the transfer occurs, with the seller responsible for taxes accrued through the day before closing. The governing statute, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 77-203, establishes the legal framework for these prorations, setting the tax rate at 0% for certain statutory purposes. Rather than specifying a fixed formula, the statute directs that prorations follow the actual number of days in the year. The Nebraska Department of Revenue’s official source details the exact calculation method. The worked example below illustrates how the proration is computed. For an estimate tailored to a specific closing date, use the DocketMath calculator.
