Florida title insurance rates in Levy County
Florida title insurance premiums are promulgated by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. Every licensed title agent in Levy County — Verified Title included — charges the same premium for the same policy amount. There is no shopping around for a cheaper rate in Florida.
The base owner's policy rate is $5.75 per $1,000 of coverage on the first $100,000, then $5.00 per $1,000 above that. On a $300,000 Levy County home, that works out to a one-time premium of about $1,575. When a buyer is financing, the lender's policy is usually issued simultaneously for a $25 simultaneous-issue add-on instead of a second full premium.
If you're refinancing a property you've owned for less than three years, ask us about the reissue rate — it can knock up to 40% off the new premium.
Documentary stamps & recording fees in Levy County
Beyond title insurance, every Levy County closing includes Florida documentary stamp taxes and county recording fees. These are state and local taxes — not Verified Title's fees — and we itemize them on your closing disclosure so you see exactly where each dollar goes.
Documentary stamps on the deed are charged at $0.70 per $100 of the sale price. On a $300,000 sale in Levy County, that's about $2,100 in deed stamps. If the buyer is financing, documentary stamps on the promissory note add $0.35 per $100 of the loan amount, and Florida intangible tax adds another $0.002 per $1 of new mortgage.
Levy County recording fees are $10 for the first page and $8.50 for each additional page of any document recorded with the Levy County Clerk. A typical residential closing records three or four documents, so recording usually lands between $50 and $120.
How a Levy County title closing works
Here is what happens between opening your order and walking out with the keys.
Who pays for title insurance in Levy County?
In Florida, the custom for who pays the owner's title insurance premium varies by county.
In Levy County, the seller traditionally pays for the owner's title insurance policy. This is the default custom across most of Florida's 67 counties. The buyer pays for the lender's policy if they are financing.
That said, who pays is always negotiable in the contract. Plenty of Levy County deals split closing costs differently, especially in competitive offers. Verified Title walks through what is standard and what is negotiable so your agent, attorney, and lender are all on the same page before you sign.
