are deed stamps part of closing cost?
A deed recording fee is just that. It is a âfee that is charged to enter into the public record the deed and documents relative to the transfer of title to a piece of propertyâ. Deed stamps are paid by the seller at closing, in the amount of $3.70 per $1,000 of real estate sold. So if you sell at $300K house, you owe $1,110 in deed stamps.
