Estimate, not a quote. State items use Florida rates: doc stamps on the mortgage note ($0.35 per $100 of the loan), intangible tax (0.2% of the loan) and the promulgated owner's title rate. Lender fees, inspections, association fees, insurance and prepaid items vary; your lender's Loan Estimate and the title company's settlement statement are the real numbers. Who pays title and other items is set by your contract and local custom. Insurance default: Florida OIR county average with wind, data as of Mar 31 2026. Seller-paid items such as deed doc stamps are not included.
