Seller cost questions
What are typical closing costs for a seller in Florida?
Besides commission, sellers usually pay Florida documentary stamp tax ($0.70 per $100 of the price), the owner’s title insurance policy in Lee and Collier counties, prorated property taxes, HOA estoppel fees and any credits agreed with the buyer.
Why do I owe property taxes when I sell?
Florida property taxes are paid in arrears, so at closing the seller credits the buyer for taxes from January 1 to the closing date.

What sellers pay at closing in Florida
Most Florida sellers pay the real estate commission, documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 of the sale price, and in Lee and Collier counties the owner’s title insurance policy. Sellers also credit the buyer for property taxes from January 1 to closing, because Florida taxes are paid in arrears, and pay HOA estoppel fees and any repairs or credits agreed in the contract.
The biggest factor in your net is still the sale price. Homes priced right from day one, with strong photos and marketing, tend to sell faster and for more. Get a free value from John and an exact net sheet before you list.
