Where to start: closing in District of Columbia
Selling in District of Columbia means closing with a title company, and a tax or fee on the transfer of the deed is part of the settlement. The practical points, in plain words:
- Title companies conduct closings in the District, often with an attorney on staff.
- The District levies a transfer tax on the seller and a recordation tax on the buyer, both settled at closing.
- A seller disclosure statement is required for most residential sales.
- Tenants in the District have a statutory right of first refusal when a rental is sold, which adds required notices and time to the sale of a tenanted house.
