How the Miami-Dade Transfer Tax is Calculated

In all Florida counties except Miami-Dade, the state’s Documentary Stamp Tax is $0.70 for every $100 of the home’s total selling price. For example, in Miami-Dade County, if you sold your home for $675,000 (the approximate median home price), you could expect to pay $4,050 in transfer taxes.

Does the Seller Always Pay the Miami-Dade Transfer Tax?

Some Miami-Dade home sellers might be eligible for exemptions from transfer taxes, depending on the circumstances or the nature of the transaction. Here are some instances where exemptions apply:

Government entities such as U.S. government agencies or local government bodies like counties, municipalities, and their political subdivisions are not required to pay transfer taxes in the Sunshine State. If involved in a transaction where the other party is exempt, the non-exempt party must pay the tax.

Other transaction types that are exempt from transfer taxes in Florida include:

Transfers related to the dissolution of marriage from one spouse to another.
Property transfers into irrevocable or living trusts for estate planning purposes.
Home sales prompted by job relocation.
Gifts of property where no financial consideration is exchanged.
