Closing Costs in Santa Clara County

Each county in California has customs as to who pays for closing costs in a real estate sale transaction.  In Santa Clara County it is customary for the seller to pay for escrow charges/fees, title fees (Owners Policy) and County transfer tax of $1.10 per thousand.  Buyer and Seller customarily split the $3.30 per thousand city transfer tax in Mountain View, Palo Alto and San Jose.

Technically these customs and are subject to change, but rarely do.
