How to sell a house in Plumas County

In a small market, a listing can take a long time and a buyer’s lender may balk at a remote or older property. A direct cash sale avoids the loan and lets you choose the date.

1. Tell us about the property by form or by calling (424) 435-2326.
2. Get a written offer within 24 hours, with no obligation.
3. Pick your closing date. Escrow handles taxes, liens and any mortgage from the proceeds.
4. Close and get paid. The deed is recorded at the County Recorder in Quincy.

How do Plumas County property taxes affect a sale?

The county lists November 1 and February 1 as due dates. When a delinquent date falls on a weekend or holiday, it moves to 5 p.m. the next business day. The county says you can pay by mail, online or in person at the Tax Collector’s office. Late payments carry a 10 percent penalty, plus a $20 cost on the second installment.

If you are behind when you sell, escrow pays the amount owed from your proceeds. Call (530) 283-6260 for a payoff figure, and give escrow your expected closing month.

What does it cost to sell a house in Plumas County?

The county Recorder collects documentary transfer tax when the deed is recorded, and its page links to a transfer tax table and calculator and to a 2026 fee schedule. State law sets the base rate at $0.55 per $500 of value. If you claim an exemption, the code section has to be stated on the face of the document or the tax is due. Our cash offers carry no commissions or closing costs.
