Review the question and all answer choices

A

No state transfer tax

Correct Answer
B

State documentary stamp tax

State documentary stamp tax is common in many states but not in Missouri. This tax typically involves stamps affixed to deeds based on property value, which Missouri does not require at the state level.

C

Only county transfer taxes

While some counties may impose their own fees or taxes, Missouri does not mandate county transfer taxes statewide. Recording fees exist, but these are not considered transfer taxes.

D

1% of sale price

A 1% transfer tax would significantly impact closing costs, but Missouri does not impose such a state-level tax. This figure is common in other states but not applicable to Missouri.

Why is this correct?

Missouri does not have a state-level real estate transfer tax.
