A Nebraska sale, worked out

The calculator opens on $265,000, about the median value of an owner-occupied home in Nebraska ($263,100, 2024 Census estimate), with a $135,000 mortgage payoff as an example. Commissions are whatever the seller agrees, so they’re left out here.

Before commissions and the payoff, the seller’s costs come to about $4,962, or 1.87% of the price, for a closing on December 5, 2026. Nebraska’s transfer tax on a $400,000 sale is the 20th highest of the 35 states and DC that have one.

Selling in Nebraska: what to know

Documentary stamp tax

Nebraska’s documentary stamp tax is paid by the seller and is $3.32 per $1,000 of value (0.332%) for transfers on or after July 18, 2026, rounded up to the next $1,000. It was $2.25 until September 2, 2025 and $2.32 until July 17, 2026, and the law returns it to $2.32 on January 1, 2032. There’s no county or city add-on.

Title insurance

Practice varies in Nebraska. Many purchase agreements have the seller furnish title evidence or the title commitment, and the owner’s premium is negotiated. Confirm with your title company.

Who runs the closing

Title and escrow companies close Nebraska sales. An attorney isn’t required.

Property taxes

Nebraska taxes for a year are generally paid the following year in two halves, so they are paid in arrears and the seller credits the buyer at closing. Confirm the due dates with the county treasurer.
