Seller Net Sheet in Takoma Park
Seller net proceeds analysis: how it works here
A seller net sheet in Takoma Park carries a larger tax line than one drawn up a few blocks away. Principal residences inside the city carried a median bill of $10,069.66 for levy year 2025. Owner-occupied homes in 20912 that sit beyond the city line paid a $5,381.62 median. Lower assessments explain part of that gap, and the city levy explains the rest.
The rate stacks three ways. On those bills, city tax ran $0.5522 per $100 of assessment, county tax $1.0392 and state tax $0.112, about $1.7034 together. Settlement prorates that total between seller and buyer by the days each owns the house.
Transfer costs come next. The county takes 1% in transfer tax whenever improved residential property sells for $70,000 or more. State law divides transfer and recordation taxes down the middle by default, and a contract can change that. A first-time Maryland buyer flips the default, leaving the seller to cover them all. That one detail can move your net by thousands.
Advertising has a rule too. County law requires seller ads to estimate what a buyer would owe in a full year of property tax, with non-tax charges such as the city’s stormwater line counted in. We pull your actual bill, so the figure buyers see matches what they’ll pay.
Your net sheet lists each of these lines. Commission, payoff, prorations and repairs sit beside them. You see a low, middle and high price version. Each line cites its source document, so your attorney or title company can check it.
