What does it cost to sell a house in Concord Township?
Pennsylvania's realty transfer tax is 1% to the state plus local tax. In Concord Township the local share is 1% (source) (2026 data), for 2% in all. By local custom it's usually split evenly between buyer and seller, but the agreement of sale decides. Run your own numbers with the Pennsylvania transfer tax calculator.

Does Concord Township require a resale or U&O inspection?
Yes. Concord Township requires a municipal resale, pre-sale or use-and-occupancy (U&O) certificate before a home sale settles (source). The published fee is $100 residential on septic; $200 residential on public sewer (incl. $100 CTSD sewer inspection) (2021 application). Order it early: if the inspection finds violations, many towns issue a temporary or conditional certificate that lets an as-is buyer take on the repairs, which is how we usually close.
Separately, many Delaware County and Chester County, PA municipalities and sewer authorities require a sewer lateral or cross-connection inspection when a house on public sewer changes hands. Ask the municipality when you list or sign.
