is the tax transfer lien on a real estate superior to all other liens.and in case of foreclosure ,would the original owner have the right to redeem his property back.i am in the state of texas thank you ,jean jabbour.

In the states which I know that a transfer tax is levied (e.g. Maryland, Virginia, DC), it is impossible for the buyer to close without the buyer and/or seller (as agreed per contract) paying this tax at closing. It is then paid to the jurisdiction upon recrding the sale, so there is no question of non-payment. Viva-Verdi (talk) 21:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Up to 6.5% in Germany[edit]

In Germany, the real estate transfer tax is up to 6.5% according to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunderwerbsteuer_(Deutschland) and the German sources quoted there. Unfortunately, I do not know an english source to quote the German rates from. Is it ok to link to a German source? Epaminaidos (talk) 19:18, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
