Davie Title Company
Local Davie title work with statewide reach — title insurance, escrow and closings for buyers, sellers, investors and lenders.
Atlantic Title Firm provides title insurance, escrow, and closing services throughout Davie and the rest of Broward County. Buyers, sellers, FSBOs, investors, and lenders rely on us for accurate, on-time closings — backed by local Davie know-how and statewide reach. Davie is Broward’s horse town, a large municipality that keeps its western half rural with acre-plus lots, barns and bridle paths in Long Lake Ranches, Stirling Road estates and the Southwest Ranches border, while its eastern half fills with the university corridor around Nova Southeastern, Forest Ridge, Rolling Hills and dense townhome communities. Our Davie closings range from equestrian estates on well and septic to condos near the campuses.
On a typical $560,000 Davie sale, the Florida-specific closing costs run about $6,822 (deed doc stamps + owner’s title + recording). In Broward County, the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and usually chooses the closing agent.
Title & Closing Costs in Davie
Strip away lender fees and prorations and a Davie closing has two Florida-mandated costs: the deed documentary stamp tax at $0.70 per $100 of the purchase price and the promulgated owner's title insurance premium. The first goes to the state; the second is set by the state. Here is the math on a $560,000 Davie transaction:

What Is Different About Closing in Davie
Acreage, wells and septic. Western Davie’s estate lots often sit on private wells and septic with agricultural exemptions on part of the land. We confirm the exemption status, check for greenbelt clawbacks and make sure the survey shows the barn, paddocks and fences inside the lot lines.
Equestrian easements and drainage. Bridle-path and drainage easements run along many rural lot lines, and Central Broward Water Control District assessments appear on the tax bill. We identify every easement on the commitment and show the district line on the settlement statement.
Gated and townhome communities. Long Lake Ranches, Forest Ridge, Rolling Hills and the townhome enclaves along University Drive carry estoppels, transfer fees and approval steps. We order them the day the file opens.
University-corridor investors. Rentals near Nova Southeastern, Broward College and FAU Davie change hands often. We check occupancy rules, code-enforcement liens and unpermitted work before the buyer inherits them.
Who Pays for Title Insurance in Davie?
In Broward County the long-standing custom puts the owner's title policy on the buyer, and because whoever pays for the policy usually picks the closing agent, most Davie contracts name the buyer's title company. Sellers relocating from seller-pays counties are often pleasantly surprised. Nothing in Florida law requires it: the FAR/BAR contract has a checkbox for either party, and it is negotiated regularly. Whichever side you are on, we are happy to be written in.

Property Taxes & Homestead in Davie
Taxes on a Davie home are the Broward County Property Appraiser's taxable value times a total rate of about 18.7 mills (the 2025 City of Davie total rate; unincorporated Broward County parcels use a different, usually lower, rate). Homestead buyers get up to $50,000 in exemptions plus the 3% Save Our Homes cap; everyone gets a reassessment to market value the January after the sale, which is why the seller's capped bill understates what you will owe.

The Broward County Clerk in Fort Lauderdale (the County Records Division) is the recording office for every Davie deed, mortgage and satisfaction. Fees are the same statewide: $10 for page one and $8.50 for each page after. We prepare the documents, collect the doc stamps and intangible tax at closing, e-record and deliver the recorded instruments with your owner's title policy.

Davie Title & Property Considerations
Davie’s older neighborhoods off Griffin and Orange Drive trace to 1920s Everglades drainage plats with old canal easements and occasional gaps in the chain. The town requires a municipal lien letter that lenders expect on every file. Some addresses with Davie mail are actually Cooper City, Southwest Ranches or unincorporated Broward, with different millage and rules.
Deeds record with the Broward County Records Division in Fort Lauderdale. Recording is statewide, $10 for the first page and $8.50 per additional page, and we e-record on closing day.
Our Davie title search and examination are built to surface issues like these before you close — so you take title clean and your ownership is protected from day one.

Who pays for title insurance in Broward County?
The buyer customarily pays for the owner's title policy in Broward County and usually chooses the closing agent. It is negotiable and the contract controls.
What should I check on a Davie acreage lot before closing?
Well and septic records, the agricultural exemption and any clawback, bridle-path and drainage easements, and that barns and fences sit inside the surveyed lot lines. We review all of it before the policy issues.
Does Davie require a municipal lien search?
Lenders expect one. The town's letter lists open permits, code violations and unpaid fees, and we order it early because open permits are the most common closing delay.
