Miami Seller Closing Cost Calculator
Miami-Dade County applies a 0.60% deed documentary stamp tax (the only Florida county with a reduced rate) and the owner’s title insurance is customarily buyer-paid. Both result in materially lower seller closing costs than Palm Beach or the broader Florida market.

Considering a Miami sale?
Miami sellers carry materially lower closing costs than most US markets: broker commission is the dominant line, and the 0.60% deed doc stamp is the only major statutory item. For trans-market clients (NY → FL), we can structure the listing strategy in coordination with a Compass agent in Miami.
