A broker-in-charge in North Carolina is revising a training memo on the North Carolina conveyance tax at $1 per $500. Which statement is NOT accurate under current North Carolina law?

Correct Answer

C) 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
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.
B
The conveyance tax is associated with the deed conveyance and recording process, not with annual ad valorem property taxation.
C
The closing attorney pays the conveyance tax from personal funds under current North Carolina rules
D
Because the statute uses 'or fractional part,' any amount over an even $500 increment rounds up to another dollar of tax.

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.

An abstract of title is a condensed history of all recorded documents and proceedings that affect the title to a specific parcel of real property. It is a summary, not a guarantee, of title condition.

Actual notice means a person has direct, personal knowledge of a fact or interest in real property. This can come from being told, seeing something firsthand, or any form of direct awareness.
