What do I need to know when buying property in Nebraska?

"When buying property in Nebraska, it is important to research the title of the property to ensure clarity of ownership and absence of any liens. Buyers should also inquire about prevailing state and local taxes applicable to the transfer of the property. In Nebraska, all transfers of title must be notarized and buyers must be aware of their obligation to pay the requisite stamp tax. It is also important to know that Nebraska permits sellers to provide warranty deeds and buyers should verify that they will receive the deed upon closing. Homeowners should also inquire about insurance requirements, rental regulations and other local ordinances to ensure they are complying with all applicable laws," said a member in Nebraska.
