The Costs of Selling a House in Indiantown, in Order of Size

For most Indiantown sellers the list runs: the mortgage payoff, the brokerage commission, the Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and settlement charges, property taxes for the part of the year you owned the home, association fees and estoppel charges where there is an association, and whatever you agree with the buyer after inspection. None of them is paid up front. They are deducted from the sale price on the closing statement, and what is left is wired to you.

Documentary Stamp Tax in Martin County

Florida charges a documentary stamp tax on every deed, customarily paid by the seller. In Martin County, as in every Florida county except Miami-Dade, the rate is 70 cents per $100 of the sale price. On the median Indiantown single family home sale of $418,000, that comes to about $2,926. It is calculated on the full price, not on your gain, and it is due at closing.

Title Insurance and Closing Charges in Martin County

Who pays for the owner's title insurance policy is a matter of local custom, and it is written into the contract. In Martin County the seller customarily chooses the title company and pays for the owner's policy, the reverse of Miami-Dade and Broward, where the buyer does. Florida sets title insurance premiums by a published rate, so the policy costs the same at any company and rises with the price. The seller also pays a settlement fee, a lien search, and the cost of clearing anything it turns up, such as an open permit or an unpaid utility balance. All of it is negotiable, so read the contract rather than relying on custom.

Property Taxes, Association Fees and Assessments

Florida property taxes are paid in arrears, so at closing the seller credits the buyer for the taxes from January 1 to the closing date; the later in the year you close, the larger that credit. If the home is in a condominium or a homeowners' association, the association charges for an estoppel certificate showing what is owed, a fee capped by Florida statute, and any unpaid dues are settled at closing. A special assessment that has been levied but not fully paid is a negotiated item: the contract decides whether the seller pays it off or the buyer takes it over.

Repairs, Credits and Preparing the Home

After the inspection, most buyers ask for repairs or a credit. South Florida insurers care about four things, the roof, the electrical panel, the plumbing and the air conditioning, so a buyer's four point inspection tends to decide what is asked for. Knowing the roof's age and having permits closed before you list removes most surprises. Preparation costs (cleaning, paint, landscaping, staging) are optional, and we tell you which ones the Indiantown comparables say will come back in the price and which will not.

Taxes on the Gain, and Foreign Sellers

Florida has no state income tax, so any tax on your gain is federal. Owners who lived in the home as their main residence for two of the last five years can usually exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly; investment and second homes do not qualify, which is where a 1031 exchange comes in. If the seller is a foreign person, the buyer is generally required under FIRPTA to withhold 15% of the sale price for the IRS unless an exception or a withholding certificate applies, something to plan for months before closing. This is general information, not tax advice; confirm your position with a CPA.

Estimating What You Keep

Net proceeds are the sale price less the mortgage payoff and the costs above. We prepare a written estimate for your address before you decide anything, using a valuation from matching Indiantown sales and the actual Martin County charges, and we put a guaranteed cash offer beside it if you want to compare a certain, as is sale with a listing.

Indiantown Costs Beyond the County Norms

Selling in Indiantown carries costs that depend on the property. On acreage, buyers order surveys, well and septic inspections and sometimes a review of the zoning and the agricultural classification, and unpermitted barns, sheds or additions can delay a closing until they are resolved with the village or the county. An unrecorded parcel in Sunrise or Sunset Groves may need extra title work to confirm access. At Terra Lago, a resale competes with builder incentives, which can mean a seller credit. Sellers also budget for the documentary stamp tax a Florida seller customarily pays on the deed and, for a manufactured home, the transfer of its title in Indiantown.

Selling a Indiantown Condo or Association Home

Indiantown has no condominiums for sale, but two of its communities add steps to a sale. At Terra Lago, the association issues an estoppel letter with the fees and any balance owed, and the buyer's title company will ask for it early. In Indianwood, the buyer applies to the community, signs its land lease and must meet its age and approval rules before the home can transfer, and only the home changes hands, because the owner holds the home and not the lot. Ask the community manager how long approval takes and what it costs, and build that into the Indiantown closing date.

When Indiantown Sellers Close Fastest

Indiantown sells to different buyers on different calendars. Indianwood homes meet most of their buyers in the winter, when retirees and seasonal residents are in town to tour the community, so a listing ready by late autumn sees the whole season. Families buying at Terra Lago move on the school calendar, so spring listings suit them, and acreage buyers are steadier through the year, although summer rain can make pasture and access look their worst. Start the survey, the well and septic reports and the title work early, because rural closings in Indiantown take longer to document.

Cost to Sell: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to sell a house in Indiantown?
Apart from the mortgage payoff, a Indiantown seller pays the brokerage commission, the Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and settlement charges, prorated property taxes, any association estoppel fee and unpaid dues, and whatever repairs or credits are agreed after inspection. Everything is deducted at closing; nothing is paid up front. We prepare a written net proceeds estimate for your address before you decide.
How much are documentary stamps on a home sale in Martin County?
In Martin County the documentary stamp tax on a deed is 70 cents per $100 of the sale price, the rate in every Florida county except Miami-Dade. On the median Indiantown single family home sale of $418,000, that is about $2,926. The seller customarily pays it.
Who pays for title insurance in Martin County, the buyer or the seller?
By local custom the seller chooses the title company and pays for the owner's policy in Martin County. In Miami-Dade and Broward the custom is reversed and the buyer pays. It is a custom, not a law, so the contract controls.
Do I pay capital gains tax when I sell my home in Florida?
Florida has no state income tax, so any tax on the gain is federal. If the home was your main residence for two of the last five years you can usually exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly. Second homes and rentals do not qualify. This is general information, not tax advice; confirm it with a CPA.
Do I have to make repairs before I sell?
No. You can sell as is, and the standard Florida as is contract gives the buyer an inspection period rather than a repair obligation. Repairs become a negotiation after the inspection, usually settled with a credit. If you would rather avoid showings and inspections altogether, ask us for the guaranteed cash offer and compare it with the listing estimate.
