- • Deeds must be certified by the Wayne County Treasurer for paid taxes before recording; the certification fee is collected in addition to the recording fee.
- • Transfer tax is calculated on the sale price and is exempt on many non-sale transfers when the exemption is cited on the face of the deed.
