What should sellers in Smyrna know?
Rental rules if you're a landlord
Smyrna requires an annual rental license and a passed rental inspection before each new tenant moves in ($75 inspection; $100 for a missed appointment), and prior tenants' water/sewer balances must be cleared. If you're tired of that cycle, we buy occupied or vacant rentals.
Town utilities and taxes
The town runs its own electric, water, and sewer utilities, and its property tax rate is $0.94 per $100 of assessed value. Any utility balances get settled at closing.
Transfer tax
Smyrna levies the full 1.5% local share, so total realty transfer tax is 4%, customarily split between buyer and seller. When Silverside buys your house, we pay all closing costs, including your share of the transfer tax. Run the numbers.
Older homes near downtown
The Smyrna Historic District and older homes near downtown can need systems and structural work that lenders balk at. We buy them as-is.
