Title insurance and closings in Florida cities
Which city a property is in does not change what title insurance costs or who customarily pays for it: the premium is set by the state, and the deed stamps, recording and that custom go by the county. What the city adds is what it knows about the property — open permits, code cases, unpaid utility balances and special assessments. None of that is in the official records, so it comes from a separate search of the city’s own, which we order on every file.
We close anywhere in Florida, not only in these cities. These are the ones with a page of their own. Anywhere else, the figures that apply are on its county’s page, and all 67 counties are listed.

Common questions
What each city charges for its lien search, side by side, is on municipal lien search fees in Florida cities. All 67 counties, and these cities under theirs, are on Florida counties we close in.
Do you close in a city that is not listed here?
Yes. We close throughout Florida, in all 67 counties. A place without a page of its own goes by its county’s figures, which are on the county page, and the search of what the city or county knows about the property is ordered the same way. Send us the address and we will tell you what applies.
Does the city change what title insurance costs?
No. The premium is promulgated: the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation sets it by rule, and it is the same in every city and every county. The deed stamps and recording go by the county, and so does the custom on who pays for the owner’s policy, which the contract can change. What can differ from city to city is what is owed to the city itself.
What is a municipal lien search?
A search directed to the city for what it knows about a property that the county’s official records do not show: code enforcement cases and fines, unpaid water, sewer and garbage balances, special assessments and, in many cities, open or expired permits. Each city prices and times it as it likes, and each city page says what that city publishes about its own.
