Miami-Dade Title & Closing Watch: 2026 Updates
What is changing for Miami-Dade title and closing work in 2026?
The most actionable local update is a reminder to calculate documentary stamp tax using Miami-Dade’s distinct rules. Florida’s Department of Revenue states that deeds in Miami-Dade are generally taxed at 60 cents per $100 of consideration, plus a 45-cent discretionary surtax per $100. The surtax does not apply to a transfer of only a single-family dwelling. Confirm the final calculation with the closing professional before recording.

Consideration can include more than cash paid in some transfers. This is not a tax calculation, legal opinion, or settlement statement.
National title-industry watch items
Recent industry commentary has focused on possible TRID changes and payoff-verification technology. Those items are not official rule changes and should not be treated as transaction-specific guidance.
