What are typical conventional closing costs in Florida?
Florida conventional purchase closing costs commonly run 2-4% of the purchase price — title and escrow fees, lender fees, recording, Florida doc stamps, intangible tax on the mortgage, prepaid taxes and insurance, escrow setup, and per-diem interest. Seller credits and lender credits offset many lines.
What this actually means.
Florida-specific items: doc stamps on the deed (paid by seller in most contracts), doc stamps on the mortgage (paid by buyer), intangible tax on the mortgage, owner's title insurance (negotiable per contract), lender's title insurance (buyer pays). Standard items: lender origination, appraisal, credit report, underwriting fee, recording, prepaids for property tax escrow, homeowners insurance binder, per-diem interest from closing date to month-end. The Loan Estimate (LE) shows everything; the Closing Disclosure (CD) confirms it 3 days before closing.
Where this can move.
Title and escrow fees, Florida doc stamps, intangible tax, prepaids, lender fees, and any seller or lender credits can change cash to close.
