Deed doc stamps are $0.70 per $100 of the price and are normally paid by the seller. In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner's title policy, at Florida's promulgated rate. Buyers with a loan also pay $0.35 per $100 on the note and 0.2% intangible tax. Property tax uses the county's typical millage less the $50,000 homestead exemption, so it's an estimate; check the property appraiser for any parcel.
Flood risk
Much of coastal Collier County lies in FEMA special flood hazard areas, so buyers should check the property's flood zone and get flood insurance quotes before closing.
