How We Calculate Ohio Home Sale Costs

Transfer Taxes

OH Real Property Conveyance Fee: Ohio levies a flat 0.40% transfer tax, customarily paid by the seller.

Source notes: State $1/$1,000 + permissive county $3/$1,000 (most counties at max) = 0.40% modeled.

Title & Escrow

Title insurance custom: In Ohio, title insurance is typically paid by the split. 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: Ohio closings are handled by title companies — no attorney required by state law.

Tax Proration & Cycles

Billing cycle: Ohio 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

Ohio closings are handled by title or escrow agents; attorney fees are not customary. If you choose to retain an attorney, override the fee in the Advanced Disclosure.

Typical Ohio seller closing costs

In Ohio, sellers typically pay around 8-10% of sale price in closing costs — agent commission (5-6%), oh real property conveyance fee (0.40%), title insurance (split-paid), title closing fees, and arrears property-tax proration.
