Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
No transfer fee
Wisconsin does charge a transfer fee, so 'No transfer fee' is incorrect. This misconception might arise from confusing Wisconsin with states that don't impose separate transfer fees.
$0.30 per $100 of value
1% of sale price
Wisconsin does not charge 1% of the sale price as a transfer fee. This percentage-based structure is used in some other states but not Wisconsin, where the fee is calculated per $100 of value.
$1.00 per $1,000
Wisconsin's fee is $0.30 per $100 of value, not $1.00 per $1,000. This option represents a common calculation error where students misapply the per-unit rate.
Why is this correct?
Wisconsin specifically charges a real estate transfer fee of $0.30 per $100 of property value. This is a state-mandated fee that must be paid during property transfers and is distinct from other closing costs like title insurance or recording fees.
