Deed doc stamps are $0.70 per $100 of the price and are normally paid by the seller. In Volusia 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
Buyers should check the FEMA flood zone for any coastal, riverfront or low-lying Volusia property, since lenders require flood insurance for federally backed mortgages in high-risk zones.
