The Costs of Selling a House in Village of Golf, in Order of Size

For most Village of Golf 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 Palm Beach County

Florida charges a documentary stamp tax on every deed, customarily paid by the seller. In Palm Beach County, as in every Florida county except Miami-Dade, the rate is 70 cents per $100 of the sale price. On the median Village of Golf single family home sale of $7,500,000, that comes to about $52,500. It is calculated on the full price, not on your gain, and it is due at closing.

Title Insurance and Closing Charges in Palm Beach County

Who pays for the owner's title insurance policy is a matter of local custom, and it is written into the contract. In Palm Beach 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 Village of Golf 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 Village of Golf sales and the actual Palm Beach 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.

Village of Golf Costs Beyond the County Norms

A Village of Golf sale carries costs a countywide average misses. Buyers of large, older lots order surveys, elevation certificates, roof and wind mitigation inspections and a check of the permit history, and an open permit or an unpermitted addition delays closing until it is resolved with the village. If a buyer wants a club membership in place before closing, that is a separate process with its own costs, so agree in writing whether the contract depends on it. Sellers in the Village of Golf also budget for presentation, from the landscaping to the pool, and for the Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed.

Selling a Village of Golf Condo or Association Home

There are no condominiums among the Village of Golf listings, and the current listings show no association fee, so a sale here usually involves no association estoppel letter. The questions a buyer's closing agent asks instead concern the village and the club: any village assessment or code matter on the property, the permits on file and, where the buyer wants to join, the club's own application, which runs apart from the closing. Confirm early which village records the title work will request, so a Village of Golf closing is not held up waiting for them.

When Village of Golf Sellers Close Fastest

Houses in the Village of Golf move fastest when they are ready as the winter residents arrive, because many buyers for golf and estate homes tour between the holidays and spring. A house listed in late autumn meets the whole season, while one listed in summer may wait for it. Families moving with the school year buy in spring for a summer closing. Hurricane season slows insurance binding for older roofs, so have the roof and wind mitigation records of your Village of Golf house ready before you list.

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 Palm Beach County?

Who pays for title insurance in Palm Beach County, the buyer or the seller?
By local custom the seller chooses the title company and pays for the owner's policy in Palm Beach 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.
