Nebraska rules that affect sellers
Transfer tax
Nebraska's documentary stamp tax is $3.32 per $1,000 of value (0.332%) for transfers before January 1, 2032, after which it drops to $2.32 per $1,000. By statute it is a tax on the grantor (the seller), collected by the county register of deeds when the deed is recorded.

Seller disclosure
Yes. Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-2,120 requires sellers of homes with 1 to 4 units to give the buyer a signed Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement, on the form set by the Nebraska Real Estate Commission, on or before the date the buyer becomes bound by a purchase contract. The buyer acknowledges receipt in writing.
Who handles the closing
Nebraska closings are customarily handled by title companies. State law does not require an attorney at closing, though sellers may hire one.

Also worth knowing
The documentary stamp tax rate was set at $3.32 per $1,000 for transfers before January 1, 2032 and is scheduled to fall to $2.32 per $1,000 after that date.
Also worth knowing
If a sale closes without the required disclosure statement, the buyer can sue the seller for actual damages, court costs and attorney's fees, within one year after taking possession or the deed transfer, whichever comes first. The seller is not liable for errors outside their personal knowledge.
Checking an agent's license
Real estate agents in Nebraska are licensed by the Nebraska Real Estate Commission. You can look up any agent before you work with them.
Rules checked 2026-09-30. They change, and local practice varies: confirm with your title company, closing attorney or agent before relying on them. This is general information, not legal or tax advice.
