An office manager in Cary is reviewing the North Carolina conveyance tax at $1 per $500. Which statement is NOT accurate under current North Carolina law?

Correct Answer

D) The closing attorney pays the conveyance tax from personal funds under current North Carolina rules

This choice is the inaccurate statement. The other three options describe the current North Carolina rule or guidance more accurately.

Answer Options
A
The conveyance tax is associated with the deed conveyance and recording process, not with annual ad valorem property taxation.
B
Because the statute uses 'or fractional part,' any amount over an even $500 increment rounds up to another dollar of tax.
C
Exam questions on conveyance tax commonly test the formula and who pays it, not obscure local variations that do not exist in North Carolina's statewide tax.
D
The closing attorney pays the conveyance tax from personal funds under current North Carolina rules

Title insurance is a policy that protects the insured party against financial loss from defects in title that were not discovered during the title search. Unlike other insurance, it covers past events rather than future risks.

A title search is an examination of public records to determine the history of ownership, liens, encumbrances, and other interests affecting a property. It verifies that the seller has the legal right to transfer the property.

A transfer tax is a tax imposed by state, county, or local government on the transfer of real property from one owner to another. It is typically based on the sale price or a flat rate per dollar of consideration.
