Florida (FL) Closing Customs & Tax Rules

Typical Non-Commission Closing Costs2.0% – 3.0% of sale price
Transfer Tax / Excise Stamp Rule$0.70 per $100 (0.70% documentary stamp tax on deed statewide; $0.60 per $100 in Miami-Dade for single-family)
Who Pays Owner's Title Insurance?Seller pays owner's title policy in most FL counties (except Miami-Dade, Broward, Collier, and Sarasota where buyer often pays)
Settlement AgentTitle Company or Attorney
Avg. Time to Close30 – 45 days

Florida sellers pay the 0.70% state documentary stamp tax on the deed, municipal lien search fees ($150–$350), and HOA/condo estoppel certificate fees ($250–$500). Because high insurance and CDD/HOA carrying costs add up rapidly, avoiding extended days on market is vital.

The #1 Equity Killer in Florida: Overpricing & 6–12 Month Holding Costs

Many homeowners fall into the trap of hiring an agent who promises an inflated listing price just to win the listing agreement. When an overpriced home in Florida sits on the market for 6 to 12 months, ongoing mortgage payments, property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, and utilities quietly drain an estimated $3,150/month—wiping out $18,900 to $37,800 of your hard-earned walk-away equity before you inevitably have to cut the price anyway.

Know Your Net Sheet First: Run your numbers upfront so you know your exact floor and walk-away target before interviewing a single agent.
Hire a Precision Pricer: Work with a vetted local expert who prices accurately for current Florida market conditions and fiercely protects you from hidden closing fees.
