Deed doc stamps are $0.70 per $100 of the price and are normally paid by the seller. In Nassau 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
Coastal and marsh-front areas on Amelia Island and along the St. Marys and Nassau rivers include FEMA special flood hazard areas, so buyers should check the flood zone on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and get flood insurance quotes early.
