Common Challenges in Orlando

Title and escrow practices in Orlando have evolved alongside Florida's real estate regulations over multiple decades. In the 1980s, rapid suburban growth led to frequent lien disputes from construction booms, requiring thorough title searches to resolve mechanic's liens filed within 90 days of work completion. The 1990s saw a surge in transactions tied to tourism infrastructure, where undisclosed easements from prior land use agreements often surfaced, delaying closings until resolved through curative documents. During the 2000s housing expansion, forgery issues in mortgage documents became prevalent, prompting title companies to enhance verification processes for lender policies. Location Title & Escrow LLC, established in 2025, applies staff knowledge from these prior eras to handle current real estate settlements. The company provides escrow services and closing services under Florida-promulgated rates for title insurance. In Orlando, historical patterns inform modern practices, such as detailed examinations for flood zone disclosures required since federal program updates in the 2010s.

Orlando Regulations and Landmarks

In Orlando, property transactions involve oversight from the Orange County Property Appraiser for valuations and the Orange County Clerk of Courts for recording deeds. The Orange County Tax Collector handles documentary stamp taxes at $0.70 per $100 of consideration, impacting closing costs directly based on sale price. Transfers require e-recording through the Clerk's office, typically completed within days after funding. Flood zone determinations from the Federal Emergency Management Agency affect insurance requirements, adding premiums up to several thousand dollars annually for high-risk parcels. Location Title & Escrow LLC, licensed by the Florida Department of Financial Services since 2025, facilitates these processes with escrow services. Timelines for municipal lien searches through the City of Orlando can extend 10 to 15 business days, potentially increasing holding costs.
