However, loan programs limit seller concessions toward the buyer&#8217;s costs: VA loans cap concessions at 4% of the sale price, and FHA loans cap them at 6%. Your own costs for title insurance, prorated taxes, and commissions have no fixed ceiling.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<section class=\"rl-bluf\">\n<h2 id=\"the-bottom-line-up-front\">The Bottom Line Up Front<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Selling a home in Texas costs roughly a combination of agent compensation, title insurance, prorated taxes, and transaction fees once you combine agent commissions, title insurance, prorated taxes, and transaction fees. The friction point is that most sellers underestimate non-commission costs, especially the owner&#8217;s title policy Texas custom puts on the seller&#8217;s tab. Knowing each line item before listing prevents surprises at the closing table.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Real estate commissions may run a negotiable amount that varies by brokerage and market, split between the listing and buyer&#8217;s agents. On top of that, Texas sellers traditionally pay for the owner&#8217;s title insurance policy, which uses state-regulated rates set by the Texas Department of Insurance. The current TDI basic premium starts at $780 for a $100,000 policy, with rates that took a 6.2% reduction effective March 1, 2026. Prorated property taxes, recording fees, and any agreed-upon buyer concessions stack on from there.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Texas sellers traditionally pay the owner&#8217;s title insurance policy, a cost buyers don&#8217;t cover<\/li>\n<li>TDI regulates title premium rates statewide, so no shopping around for a lower base price<\/li>\n<li>VA buyers can receive up to 4% in seller concessions, FHA buyers up to 6%<\/li>\n<li>Prorated property taxes often surprise sellers who close mid-year in high-tax counties<\/li>\n<li>TREC contract form 20-19 governs how closing cost responsibilities are negotiated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"buyer-title-charges\">Buyer Title Charges<\/h2>\n<p>Texas sellers traditionally pay for the owner&#8217;s <a href=\"\/lrg-blog\/title-insurance-texas-costs-guide\/\">title insurance<\/a> policy, but buyers carry their own set of title-related charges at closing. These charges cover the lender&#8217;s title policy, title search and examination fees, and document preparation costs that the title company bills separately from the owner&#8217;s policy the seller funds.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Charge<\/th>\n<th>What It Covers<\/th>\n<th>Typical Range<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Lender&#8217;s title policy<\/td>\n<td>Protects the mortgage lender against title defects for the loan amount; premium is state-regulated by TDI, with rates reduced 6.2% effective March 1, 2026<\/td>\n<td>State-set schedule (e.g., $308 basic premium on a $25,000 policy)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Title search and examination<\/td>\n<td>Research into public property records confirming clear chain of ownership and identifying liens or encumbrances<\/td>\n<td>Varies by county and title company<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Document preparation<\/td>\n<td>Drafting the deed, affidavits, and transfer documents required for recording<\/td>\n<td>Varies by title company<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Endorsements<\/td>\n<td>Optional add-ons to the lender&#8217;s policy covering specific risks like survey issues, access rights, or zoning<\/td>\n<td>Individually priced per endorsement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Settlement or escrow fee<\/td>\n<td>Title company&#8217;s charge for coordinating the closing, handling funds, and recording documents<\/td>\n<td>Varies by transaction complexity<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Buyers can negotiate some of these charges under the TREC One to Four Family Residential Contract (Form 20-19), and sellers may agree to cover a portion as a concession. <a href=\"\/lrg-blog\/best-neighborhoods-san-antonio-va-buyers-military\/\">VA buyers<\/a> face a 4% cap on <a href=\"\/lrg-blog\/seller-concessions-2026-guide\/\">seller concessions<\/a>, while FHA buyers can receive up to 6% of the sale price in seller-paid costs. Ask the title company for an itemized fee sheet early in the process so nothing surprises you at the closing table.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"what-does-the-mortgage-payment-cover\">What Does the Mortgage Payment Cover?<\/h2>\n<p>The buyer&#8217;s <a href=\"\/lrg-blog\/mortgage-payment-guide-2026\/\">mortgage payment<\/a> at closing directly affects your net proceeds as a seller. Their lender requires prepaid interest, escrow deposits for <a href=\"\/lrg-blog\/2026-texas-property-taxes-homestead\/\">property taxes<\/a> and insurance, and potentially private mortgage insurance. When a buyer&#8217;s cash-to-close runs tight, the request for seller concessions follows. Texas sellers regularly see buyers ask for help covering these costs, and the concession limits vary by loan type.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rl-callout rl-callout--deal_math\">\n<strong>Deal Math<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>VA loans cap seller concessions at 4% of the sale price. FHA loans allow up to 6%. On a competitive listing, a buyer using VA financing can ask you to cover a smaller share of their mortgage-related costs than an FHA buyer can. Factor the loan type into your net sheet before accepting any offer that includes a concession request.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Prorated property taxes are the line item that catches most Texas sellers off guard. Because Texas taxes are paid in arrears, you owe your share from January 1 through the closing date. That credit comes straight off your proceeds on the settlement statement, and on higher-value properties the proration alone can run into thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"rl-cta-mid\"><a class=\"rl-cta-pill\" href=\"\/lrg-blog\/connect-with-lrg\/?ref=seller-closing-costs-texas\">Connect with LRG \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"how-can-i-calculate-seller-closing-costs-in-texas\">How Can I Calculate Seller Closing Costs in Texas?<\/h2>\n<p>Start with your expected sale price, then add each cost line by line rather than relying on a single percentage estimate. Agent commissions, owner&#8217;s title insurance, prorated property taxes, escrow fees, and any outstanding mortgage payoff each carry their own calculation method, and lumping them into one number hides where your money actually goes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bullet-section-gray\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Owner&#8217;s title insurance:<\/strong> Texas sets these rates by law through TDI. The basic premium on a $100,000 policy is $780, with a rate multiplier of 0.00494 for each dollar an amount that depends on your sale price and fee structure. Rates dropped 6.2% effective March 1, 2026.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prorated property taxes:<\/strong> Texas taxes are paid in arrears, so you owe your share from January 1 through closing day. Your title company calculates this using your county&#8217;s current tax rate and divides by the number of days in the year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buyer concession caps by loan type:<\/strong> If your buyer asks you to cover part of their closing costs, the loan program sets the ceiling. VA loans cap seller concessions at 4% of the sale price, and FHA loans cap them at 6%. Conventional loan limits vary by down payment amount.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Net sheet from your title company:<\/strong> Ask for a seller&#8217;s net sheet using TREC Contract 20-19 terms. The title company plugs in your payoff balance, tax proration, title premium, escrow fees, and commission splits to show your actual walk-away number before you sign the listing agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"the-most-a-seller-can-pay-in-closing-costs\">The Most a Seller Can Pay in Closing Costs<\/h2>\n<p>Seller closing costs in Texas have no statutory cap on the seller&#8217;s own expenses, but the buyer&#8217;s loan program caps how much a seller can contribute toward the buyer&#8217;s costs. VA loans limit seller concessions to 4% of the sale price. FHA loans cap them at 6%. Conventional <a href=\"\/lrg-blog\/2026-loan-limits-san-antonio-austin-killeen\/\">loan limits<\/a> vary by the buyer&#8217;s down payment. These concession limits govern what you can offer as incentives, not what you owe on your own side of the settlement statement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rl-callout rl-callout--file_guidance\">\n<strong>File Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Review TREC Form 20-19 (One to Four Family Residential Contract) before listing. The contract&#8217;s seller contribution fields specify concession amounts in dollars, not percentages. Write the concession as a fixed dollar figure rather than a percentage of sale price so the number does not shift if the appraised value comes in lower than the offer. Your title company can confirm how each line item nets against proceeds on the closing disclosure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Your own costs (owner&#8217;s title policy, prorated property taxes, agent commissions, escrow fees) come off the top regardless of the buyer&#8217;s loan type. The concession limits only restrict the additional amount you agree to credit toward the buyer&#8217;s closing charges. On a higher-priced sale, the gap between what you owe and what you can offer as a buyer credit widens, so run the numbers line by line before committing to a concession figure in the contract.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"when-are-seller-closing-costs-due-in-texas\">When Are Seller Closing Costs Due in Texas<\/h2>\n<p>Seller closing costs in Texas are due at the closing table, not before. The title company collects every fee from your sale proceeds simultaneously, so you rarely write a separate check. Your net sheet from the title company shows each deduction line by line, and the remainder is what hits your bank account. The TREC 20-19 contract sets the closing date, and all seller obligations settle on that single day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bullet-section-green\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Title company settlement:<\/strong> The title company withholds agent commissions, the owner&#8217;s title insurance premium, prorated property taxes, and any outstanding mortgage payoff directly from the sale proceeds before disbursing your net.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prorated property taxes:<\/strong> Texas property taxes are paid in arrears, so the title company calculates your share from January 1 through closing day and deducts that amount at settlement rather than billing you separately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No upfront payments required:<\/strong> Unlike buyers who may pay earnest money and option fees early in the contract period, sellers owe nothing out of pocket before the closing date unless the contract specifies a repair credit or pre-closing obligation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mortgage payoff timing:<\/strong> Your existing lender provides a payoff statement valid through a specific date, and the title company wires that balance at closing so the lien releases cleanly for the buyer&#8217;s new title policy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"common-fees-sellers-overlook-at-closing\">Common Fees Sellers Overlook at Closing<\/h2>\n<p>Most Texas sellers budget for agent commissions and the owner&#8217;s title policy but miss several smaller line items that add up fast. Prorated property taxes, HOA transfer documents, escrow and settlement charges, and survey costs all hit your net sheet at closing.

The owner&#8217;s title insurance policy, prorated property taxes, escrow fees, and any buyer concession caps from their loan program all factor into your net sheet. Build your estimate line by line rather than relying on a single percentage.<\/p>\n<p>Every fee comes out of your sale proceeds at the closing table, so there is no separate check to write beforehand. The sellers who walk away with the strongest net numbers are the ones who account for overlooked charges early, from survey costs to HOA transfer fees, and negotiate with full visibility into what each line item actually costs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"rl-cta-mid\"><a class=\"rl-cta-pill\" href=\"\/lrg-blog\/connect-with-lrg\/?ref=seller-closing-costs-texas\">Connect with LRG \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"rl-faq\">\n<h2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<details>\n<summary>What is a seller net sheet and how does it work?<\/summary>\n<p>A seller net sheet is a line-by-line estimate of what you walk away with after every closing cost is subtracted from your sale price. It starts with the contract price, then deducts agent commissions, title insurance, prorated property taxes, any outstanding mortgage payoff, recording fees, and any concessions you agreed to. Your title company or listing agent prepares one during the contract period. Ask for an updated version after inspection negotiations, because repair credits or price adjustments change your bottom line.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Are there free tools to estimate Texas seller closing costs?<\/summary>\n<p>Several title companies offer online closing cost calculators specific to Texas. These tools pull in TDI-regulated title insurance rates and let you plug in your sale price, estimated commission structure, and loan payoff to generate a rough net sheet. They give you a starting point, but they cannot account for negotiated repairs, prorated tax adjustments, or HOA transfer fees unique to your property. Treat any calculator output as an estimate and confirm final numbers with your title company once you have a signed contract.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can a seller pay part of the buyer&#8217;s closing costs in Texas?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. Seller concessions, where you agree to cover some of the buyer&#8217;s costs, are common negotiation tools in Texas. The limits depend on the buyer&#8217;s loan type. FHA caps seller concessions at 6% of the sale price. VA loans cap them at 4%. Conventional loan limits vary by down payment amount. These concessions come out of your proceeds at closing and show up on the settlement statement. In a slower market with longer days on market, offering concessions can move a property faster than a price reduction.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What closing costs does the TREC contract require the seller to pay?<\/summary>\n<p>The TREC One to Four Family Residential Contract, form 20-19, outlines which costs fall to each party. The seller is responsible for the owner&#8217;s title insurance policy, the seller&#8217;s share of prorated property taxes through the closing date, any agreed-upon repairs or credits, and fees associated with the existing mortgage payoff including any prepayment penalties. The contract also has blank fields where buyer and seller negotiate who covers the survey, home warranty, and specific repair allowances. Read every line before you sign.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How do Texas seller closing costs compare to other states?<\/summary>\n<p>Texas has no state income tax and no state-level real estate transfer tax, which removes two line items sellers face in states like New York, California, or Illinois. That said, Texas property tax rates run higher than the national average, so your prorated tax bill at closing can be significant depending on when you close relative to the January 1 tax year. Title insurance costs are state-regulated through TDI, which means you cannot shop for a lower premium, but the rate is predictable.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happens to prorated property taxes at a Texas closing?<\/summary>\n<p>Texas property taxes run on a calendar year from January 1 through December 31, but the bill is not issued until the fall. At closing, the seller owes a prorated share covering January 1 through the closing date. If you close in June, you owe roughly half the year&#8217;s estimated tax bill as a credit to the buyer. The title company calculates this proration using the most recent tax assessment. If the final tax bill comes in higher than the estimate, the difference is typically handled between the parties after closing.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can sellers deduct closing costs on their taxes?<\/summary>\n<p>Some seller closing costs reduce your taxable gain when you sell, but they are not direct deductions on your income tax return. Costs like agent commissions, title insurance premiums, and transfer-related fees get added to your cost basis, which lowers the capital gain the IRS calculates. If you lived in the home as your primary residence for at least two of the last five years, the first $250,000 in gain ($500,000 for married couples filing jointly) is excluded.
