How We Calculate Georgia Home Sale Costs

Transfer Taxes

GA Real Estate Transfer Tax: Georgia levies a flat 0.10% transfer tax, customarily paid by the seller.

Source notes: GA-licensed attorney must conduct closing per Bar Association rule.

Title & Escrow

Title insurance custom: In Georgia, title insurance is typically paid by the buyer. Title policies protect against title defects discovered after closing; the lender requires their own policy regardless of who pays. The analyzer's estimate ($500 base + $4.50 per $1,000 over $100K) is calibrated against ALTA / TIRSA filings — real rates vary by carrier.

Closing protocol: Georgia requires an attorney to conduct closings.

Tax Proration & Cycles

Billing cycle: Georgia bills property taxes in arrears. If you sell mid-year, you owe the buyer a credit for the days you occupied the home — using a 365-day denominator (US settlement-statement industry standard).

Closing Protocol

Georgia attorney/escrow fees typically range $500-$800 based on transaction complexity and locality. The analyzer defaults to the midpoint of this range for attorney states; override the default in the Advanced Disclosure if your closing agent quotes outside the typical range.

Typical Georgia seller closing costs

In Georgia, sellers typically pay around 8-10% of sale price in closing costs — agent commission (5-6%), ga real estate transfer tax (0.10%), title insurance (buyer-paid), attorney closing fees, and arrears property-tax proration.
