North Dakota rules that affect sellers
Transfer tax
North Dakota has no real estate transfer tax. A 2014 amendment to the state constitution bars the state, counties, cities, townships and other local governments from imposing any sales or transfer tax on the transfer of real property.

Seller disclosure
Yes. Under North Dakota Century Code section 47-10-02.1, the seller of a home with no more than four units must give the buyer a written disclosure of known material facts, including latent defects, general condition, environmental, structural and mechanical issues, before the purchase agreement is finally accepted, unless the offer to purchase says otherwise. When a real estate licensee is involved, the disclosure must use the North Dakota Real Estate Commission's form or a substantially similar one.
Who handles the closing
North Dakota closings are customarily handled by title or escrow companies, and an attorney is not typically required. This is based on a title insurer's industry summary, not an official state page.
Also worth knowing
The disclosure duty applies even to owners selling without an agent: a for-sale-by-owner seller of a one to four unit home must still disclose known material facts in writing before the agreement is finally accepted. Court-ordered and foreclosure sales are among the exemptions.
Also worth knowing
Although there is no transfer tax, a deed cannot be recorded unless it includes a signed statement of the full price paid (or a statement that an exemption applies) under Century Code section 11-18-02.2. This statement is signed by the buyer or the buyer's agent.
