Refinancing in Georgia: what’s different
- Georgia charges an intangible recording tax of $1.50 per $500 of the loan (0.3%), up to $25,000 per note. [source]
- When the same lender and borrower refinance a loan that already paid the tax, the refinanced unpaid principal isn’t taxed again; only new money is. The new security deed (or an affidavit) must show how much is refinanced principal. [source]
- Georgia is an attorney-closing state: the Georgia Supreme Court has held that only a licensed Georgia attorney may close a real estate loan. [source]
Rules change and every county runs things a little differently, so confirm the details for your loan with your closing agent. This isn’t legal or tax advice.
