Closing Costs in Florida for Sellers (2026)

What sellers pay at closing in Lake County — commissions, doc stamps, title, and the post-NAR-settlement reality.

Typical seller total

6–8% of sale price all-in, with the largest line being commission. Florida doc stamps on the deed run $0.70 per $100 of price.

Post-settlement commission reality

Listing-side fees still average 2.5–3%. Buyer-agent compensation is negotiable in writing and increasingly offered in MLS by listing brokerages to attract buyers.
