The Clerk collects documentary stamp tax at the time a deed is recorded. The tax is levied at the rate of $.70 per $100 (or portion thereof) on documents that transfer interest in Florida real property, such as warranty deeds and quit claim deeds. This tax is based on the sale, consideration or transfer amount and is usually paid to the Clerk of Court when the document is recorded. The Clerk sends the money to the Department of Revenue, which distributes the funds according to law. The sale price, transfer, or consideration amount must be on the deed or in a cover letter for recording.
