This is a simple budgeting estimate, not a quote, Closing Disclosure, or settlement statement. Actual costs vary by county, contract, lender, property type, title policy, taxes, recording, HOA or condominium charges, and negotiated credits. Ask Location Title & Escrow for a file-specific estimate before relying on the number.
Calculating Title Insurance Premiums
Title insurance premiums in Florida are state-regulated (promulgated), which means the cost is the same no matter which title company you use. The premium is based on the property's sale price. You can find the exact premium by using the official calculator from the Florida Land Title Association (FRTA).

Identifying Other Closing Costs
In addition to title insurance, your closing costs will include several other fees:
- Settlement Fee: This is the fee the title company charges for managing the closing. It is not regulated and varies by company.
- Lender's Fees: If you are financing the purchase, your lender will have charges such as origination fees, appraisal fees, and credit report fees.
- Recording Fees: The county charges these fees to record the new deed and mortgage.
- Documentary Stamp Taxes: This is a state tax on the transfer of real property.
- Survey Fee: To confirm the property's boundaries.
