Rockville mixes established neighborhoods with new development, and new construction is where a Rockville settlement statement diverges from a resale one: a builder's first sale can carry warranty enrollment and HOA setup charges that a resale has no equivalent for, and they are itemised separately from the taxes. Ask for a builder's estimated settlement sheet early — the charges are the builder's to disclose, not the county's.
Rockville is both an incorporated city and the Montgomery County seat, so the Circuit Court that records your deed is in town. The city levies no transfer tax of its own.
Montgomery County levies a county transfer tax of 1% on top of Maryland's 0.5% state transfer tax — 1.5% combined. On a $600,000 sale that is $9,000 of transfer tax before anything else. Absent an agreement otherwise the county transfer tax is shared evenly between buyer and seller. A qualifying first-time Maryland homebuyer gets a reduced state rate of 0.25%, which the seller then pays in full.
