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

For most Lauderhill 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 Broward County

Florida charges a documentary stamp tax on every deed, customarily paid by the seller. In Broward County, as in every Florida county except Miami-Dade, the rate is 70 cents per $100 of the sale price. On the median Lauderhill single family home sale of $462,500, that comes to about $3,238. It is calculated on the full price, not on your gain, and it is due at closing.

Title Insurance and Closing Charges in Broward County

Who pays for the owner's title insurance policy is a matter of local custom, and it is written into the contract. In Broward County the buyer customarily chooses the title company and pays for the owner's policy, which is the opposite of most of Florida and saves a Lauderhill seller a meaningful line on the closing statement. The seller still pays a settlement fee, the title search where the contract assigns it, a municipal 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 Lauderhill 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 Lauderhill sales and the actual Broward County charges, and we put a guaranteed cash offer beside it if you want to compare a certain, as is sale with a listing. Request it with the form on this page.

Lauderhill Costs Beyond the County Norms

Selling a Lauderhill house brings local costs worth planning for. Most houses here are decades old, so the buyer's inspection and the insurer's four point and wind mitigation reports tend to produce a repair list or a request for a credit. Any open permit, unpermitted addition or garage converted without a permit has to be closed out with the city before the title company will insure the sale, and east of State Road 7 the title work also confirms which government serves the address. Add presentation costs, from paint to landscaping, and the documentary stamp tax a Florida seller customarily pays on the deed.

Selling a Lauderhill Condo or Association Home

Selling a condominium or townhome in Lauderhill means working with the association from the start. Georgetown, Azalea Isle, Sienna Ridge and the Inverrary condominiums each run their own buyer application and approval, and some boards meet only monthly, so ask the manager for the meeting calendar as soon as you list. Expect the buyer's lender and closing agent to ask for the budget, the reserves, the milestone inspection status for older buildings and any assessment, which is usually paid off or credited at closing. In the communities for residents 55 and over, the buyer's eligibility is checked too. Estoppel and transfer fees belong in a Lauderhill net sheet.

When Lauderhill Sellers Close Fastest

Lauderhill sells mostly to buyers who live here year round, so the calendar follows families and investors rather than winter visitors. Spring listings meet families planning a summer move before the school year, while investors buy through the year whenever the numbers work, often timing a purchase around the end of a lease. When a named storm approaches, insurers pause new policies, so an older house with its roof and wind mitigation reports ready keeps its contract moving. For an income building, give tenants the notice their leases require before showings start in Lauderhill.

Cost to Sell: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to sell a house in Lauderhill?
Apart from the mortgage payoff, a Lauderhill 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 Broward County?
In Broward 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 Lauderhill single family home sale of $462,500, that is about $3,238. The seller customarily pays it.
Who pays for title insurance in Broward County, the buyer or the seller?
By local custom the buyer chooses the title company and pays for the owner's policy in Broward County, as in Miami-Dade and Broward generally. In most other Florida counties the seller 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.
