On a typical $290,000 Crawfordville sale, the Florida-specific closing costs run about $3,582 (deed doc stamps + owner’s title + recording). In Wakulla County, the seller customarily pays the owner’s title policy and usually chooses the closing agent.
Title & Closing Costs in Crawfordville
The biggest Florida-specific costs at a Crawfordville closing are the documentary stamp tax on the deed and owner's title insurance. Crawfordville uses Florida's standard deed doc-stamp rate of $0.70 per $100 of the sale price, and owner's title insurance is charged at state-promulgated rates — the same base rate at every title company in Florida. Here is roughly how the Florida-specific line items look on a $290,000 Crawfordville sale:

Who Pays for Title Insurance in Crawfordville?
Because Crawfordville sits in Wakulla County, local custom controls who pays: the seller customarily covers the owner's title insurance policy, and under longstanding Florida practice whoever pays generally picks the title and closing agent. In Crawfordville that choice usually belongs to the seller — but it is a county custom, not state law, and it is fully negotiable in the contract. If you're selling here, choosing your closing agent is your call, and we'd love to earn it.

Property Taxes & Homestead in Crawfordville
The Wakulla County Property Appraiser assesses Crawfordville real estate, and the combined millage runs roughly 14.5 mills per $1,000 of taxable value. Claim the homestead exemption on your permanent residence (owned and occupied by January 1) and you knock up to $50,000 off taxable value and lock in the Save Our Homes 3% cap on future increases. One caution: the property is reassessed to market the January after you buy, so estimate from today's value rather than the prior owner's bill.

Crawfordville Title & Property Considerations
Crawfordville-area closings often involve rural and forest-adjacent acreage with well/septic, access and easement, and boundary/survey questions we confirm early. Some low-lying Big Bend parcels carry flood-zone considerations, and larger tracts warrant careful legal-description review.
That is why our Crawfordville title work digs for these red flags up front — identifying and resolving them before closing so you own the property free of surprises.
