Selling a Home in Tallahassee, Florida
Tallahassee sits in Leon County. Florida sellers pay a layered transfer tax — state, county, and (in some municipalities) a city-level tax on top. The calculator above applies the correct rates for Tallahassee automatically, alongside agent commissions, the owner's title insurance policy, attorney and escrow fees, and recording fees.
Tallahassee Transfer Tax & Closing Costs
Florida title insurance premiums are set by the state and are the same at every title company. The seller customarily pays the owner's policy that protects the buyer; the buyer pays for the lender's policy. The seller also pays the documentary stamp tax on the deed at closing; escrow fees are typically split with the buyer. Recording fees in Leon County are a small fixed cost at closing.
