Pay? Do you mean for the filing fees? The notary fees? Is this being transferred with the assistance of escrow & title services?

The doc stamps were never payed when we signed the quit claim. We filed it through a title company. this happened a year and a half ago and I just received the letter stating I got audited and I owe money from the doc stamps, I was unaware they were never payed?

Brittmc,

I hope you get another response from someone better versed on the subject of doc stamps than I am.

Briefly doc stamps are a form of state tax that's to be paid when a title transfers. Although there isn't a definite rule (usually) for who pays for this tax it is generally the property owner (the transferor). The amount of the doc stamp varies from state to state.

I think I would start with the title company who was responsible to see that these were paid & ask why they were not...who knows maybe it was an oversight & the check was just never issued.
