Sales tax on purchase of house?

No sales tax. Transfer fees and property tax only.

The answer is , it depends on your state and county. Although sales tax on the sale of real property is extremely rare, you need to research this for your area. Any good realtor in your area will answer this for you (otherwise call city hall). As far as the real estate tax, those are definitely there and they will be there every year you own the property.

Good luck

Some states do charge a sales tax and no it would not be covered by property tax. It will be included in your closing costs.

You will pay tax but it is not sales tax. Ask your real estate agent to explain transfer taxes to you since it varies from State to State and from county to county. You will also pay property taxes each year.

There is no sales tax on a house purchase

The taxes you pay on a house are called property taxes
