Florida then taxes that loan twice. First, documentary stamp tax on the note runs 35 cents per $100, or about $4,732. Next, the intangible tax of 0.2% adds about $2,704. Buyers normally pay both at closing.

On the seller side, Miami-Dade charges deed stamps of 60 cents per $100 on a single-family home, about $10,140 at this price. Condos and other property types pay a higher rate.

After that, Save Our Homes caps yearly assessment increases at 3% or inflation, whichever is lower. To see what these numbers mean for your budget, get pre-approved before you tour.
