Deed doc stamps are $0.70 per $100 of the price and are normally paid by the seller. In Martin County the seller 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 Martin County sits along the Atlantic coast, the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie River, so buyers should check FEMA flood zone maps and get flood insurance quotes before closing.
