The term taxes is frequently applied a bit broadly here. Many of the things that some consider taxes are actually probably better classed as fee's.

Certainly you have the taxes on the gain or loss of a capital asset income tax purposes, on the Federal & State levels as applicable.

All Property taxes need to be up to date, to the time of transfer. (This can result in either a payment or a refund, depending on if taxes in that particular jurisdiction are paid in advance or arrears).

And any local transfer/recording taxes - again more like fees', although certainly some locales may have a fee, even a substantial one (a part of a percent), based on the total transfer price.
