TRANSFER COSTS

Thanks to recordation taxes and transfer taxes, the costs of transferring real estate in Maryland are third highest in the country. On a transfer the combined tax can amount to as much as 3% of the purchase price in the case of a sale, or 3% of the capitalized value of rent in the case of a lease. Even transfers to privately held corporations and partnerships solely for management, limited liability, or estate planning purposes are subjected to these taxes, although real money hasn't changed hands.
