Closing laws · By stateReal estate closing laws by state: checklists for transaction coordinators

Every state layers its own statutes on top of the federal closing rules, and they arrive in roughly the same order in every deal: the brokerage or buyer agreement, the seller's disclosure, the HOA or condo resale certificate, the deed and recording, the state and local transfer taxes, special rules for tenant-occupied homes, and filings after closing such as a homestead exemption. These checklists put one state's rules in that order, with the statute for each and a link to a guide written from the official code. They cover Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
