Understanding Closing Costs & Net Proceeds in Florida

In Florida, the seller's biggest state-specific cost is the Documentary Stamp Tax on the deed — a real line item that catches a lot of first-time sellers by surprise. Who pays for title insurance also depends on which county you're in.

Key local custom breakdown

Doc Stamps: Florida charges $0.70 per $100 of sale price on the deed (0.70%), or $0.60 per $100 in Miami-Dade. On a $500K sale that's about $3,500 out of your proceeds.
Title insurance: In most of Florida the seller pays for the owner's title policy. In Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Sarasota the buyer customarily pays.
Commissions: Listing and buyer-agent fees are now negotiated separately. Sumline keeps them as two editable fields so you can model any split.

How the Florida transfer tax is calculated

Transfer Tax = Sale Price × 0.007

Example: $500,000 × 0.007 = $3,500

Miami-Dade single-family homes use × 0.006 instead.
