Q: Are the Florida Real Estate Laws and Rules the same through out the state of Florida?
I have an offer on a property I own in St. John County. The offer included that the Seller pay closing costs for Owner's title insurance policy and the Title search. In Miami-Dade County, where I'm originally from the Buyer pays for the Owner's title Insurance and Title Search.
A:
Yes, the laws of Florida apply statewide. The Florida rules of court also apply statewide.
More detail is needed if you are looking for a more detailed answer than this.
A: Typically the Seller pays for the Title Search and Owner's Policy, while the Buyer would pay for the Mortgagee Policy if there is a home loan taken to purchase the property. The only difference I am aware of in Miami-Dade County is the tax rate. Best of luck on your sale! Jennifer
