The Service

Seller net proceeds analysis

A seller net proceeds analysis replaces the number in your head with the number on the wire: sale-price scenarios minus payoff, Maryland transfer and recordation taxes, commissions, prep, and credits.

A seller net sheet in Rockville carries a tax line most of the county doesn’t. For FY2027, the City of Rockville levies $0.292 per $100 of assessed value, on top of county and state property tax. Levy year 2025 bills inside the city show the county portion at $0.9268 per $100. Taxes are prorated by the settlement date, so a Rockville seller’s credit or charge reflects all three layers, and the city line is easy to forget.

Transfer costs come next. Montgomery County’s transfer tax is 1% on improved residential property, and Maryland’s default splits transfer and recordation taxes evenly between the two sides unless the contract says otherwise. If the buyer is buying their first Maryland home, the seller usually carries the full transfer share. That single detail about the buyer can move your net by several thousand dollars. Recordation tax follows the same default split, and the county exempts the first $100,000 for an owner-occupant buyer, which changes the buyer’s side more than yours.

Owners who live outside Maryland face withholding at the table. Maryland’s nonresident rate is 8.75% for individuals, a bit lower for entities, and the tentative refund route closes for sales of $1.5 million or more. We estimate the amount early, so your cash plan for the next home reflects what actually reaches your account at settlement.

Our net sheet lists every line you’ll see at settlement, each with its source. Prorated taxes, transfer and recordation shares, lien payoffs and agreed credits are all shown before you set a price.

Where We Work

Rockville

Most Rockville addresses carry the same three tax rates, but a few lines vary. Property inside the Town Square Parking District pays a separate city levy of $0.33 per $100 for FY2027, so it belongs on the sheet. Houses served by city water add a final water bill at settlement, while WSSC-served addresses settle with WSSC. Condo sellers add the association’s payoff letter and any resale package fee. We build your sheet from your own tax bill and utility account. Generic averages miss these lines.

The City of Rockville adds $0.292 per $100 for FY2027, and levy year 2025 bills show the county portion at $0.9268 per $100 inside the city.
