Florida customs, not rules — every item is negotiable in the purchase contract (FAR/BAR ¶9). Confirm the split on the contract and settlement statement.
Estimates only — not a quote, not legal or tax advice, and not a commitment to insure. Rates and county practices change (Miami-Dade in particular has its own deed-tax rules); verify every figure with your closing agent before relying on it.
This is the easy 5%.
GoodCloser runs the other 95% — balanced settlement statements, prorations, wire safety, recording, and disbursement — for modern title agencies.

Who pays documentary stamps on the deed in Florida?
By custom the seller pays deed doc stamps ($0.70 per $100 of the sale price), but the purchase contract controls — the parties can allocate it differently. Miami-Dade County has its own deed-tax structure, including a $0.45/$100 surtax on transfers other than single-family residences.
Who pays for title insurance in Florida — buyer or seller?
It's customary, and it varies by county. In most Florida counties the seller pays for the owner's title policy and picks the closing agent. In Miami-Dade, Broward, Sarasota, and Collier the buyer customarily pays and chooses; Monroe varies (buyer in the Upper Keys). It's always negotiable in the contract — pick your county in the calculator to see the local default and full who-pays breakdown.
What taxes does a buyer with a mortgage pay?
Two: documentary stamps on the promissory note at $0.35 per $100 of the loan (rounded up to the nearest $100), and the nonrecurring intangible tax at $2 per $1,000 of a new mortgage.
How are Florida recording fees calculated?
Under FL §28.24 the clerk charges $10.00 for the first page and $8.50 for each additional page, per instrument. A closing usually records at least a deed and, with a loan, a mortgage.
Are Florida title insurance rates negotiable?
The premium itself is promulgated by the state (Rule 69O-186.003), so the rate is the same everywhere — what varies is closing fees, and whether you receive credits like the reissue credit or the $25 simultaneous-issue lender's policy.
