Miramar Title Company
Miramar closings done right: title search, escrow, doc prep and recording from a Florida title agency licensed statewide.
Atlantic Title Firm provides title insurance, escrow, and closing services throughout Miramar and the rest of Broward County. Buyers, sellers, FSBOs, investors, and lenders rely on us for accurate, on-time closings — backed by local Miramar know-how and statewide reach. Miramar stretches fourteen miles from the older east-side grid near US 441 to the gated lake communities of the west, Silver Lakes, Sunset Lakes, Vizcaya, Monarch Lakes and Riviera Isles, built in the 1990s and 2000s on former Everglades farmland. It is one of Broward’s most diverse cities and a steady lender-driven market. Our Miramar closings are mostly resale homes in gated communities, with investor files on the east side and relocation buyers throughout.
On a typical $520,000 Miramar sale, the Florida-specific closing costs run about $6,342 (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 Miramar
If you have bought or sold in another state, two Miramar line items will look unfamiliar. Florida taxes the transfer itself through deed doc stamps at $0.70 per $100, and it fixes the owner's title premium by regulation, so the rate is identical whether you close with us or anyone else in Broward County.

What Is Different About Closing in Miramar
Gated communities with layered fees. Silver Lakes, Sunset Lakes and Vizcaya carry master and sub-association estoppels, capital contributions and approval processes that can take weeks. We order every estoppel and start the association approval the day the file opens.
Broward’s county-wide lien search. Broward municipalities, Miramar included, issue lien and permit letters that lenders expect on every file. We order the city lien search early, because open permits from roof and hurricane-shutter jobs are the most common closing delay.
Western drainage and lake lots. The west-side communities are built around man-made lakes with drainage easements, littoral-zone rules and South Broward Drainage District assessments. We show the district line on the statement and explain what a lake-lot owner can and cannot do at the water’s edge.
East-side investor files. The 1950s and 1960s neighborhoods near 441 see steady flips and rentals. We check code-enforcement liens, open permits and unpermitted work such as converted garages and enclosed patios.
Who Pays for Title Insurance in Miramar?
Miramar follows the Broward County custom, which runs the other way from most of Florida: the buyer ordinarily pays the owner's title insurance premium, and by Florida tradition the party footing that cost chooses the title and closing agent. So on a typical Miramar transaction the buyer makes the call. It is a local custom, not a legal requirement, and it is always open to negotiation — if you're buying, we'd be glad to be your choice.

Property Taxes & Homestead in Miramar
The Broward County Property Appraiser assesses Miramar property every January 1, and the total levy is about 20.1 mills per $1,000 of taxable value (the 2025 City of Miramar total rate; unincorporated Broward County parcels use a different, usually lower, rate). A permanent resident can claim the homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes 3% cap; an investor or second-home buyer cannot, and every buyer inherits a fresh market-value assessment the year after closing. Model it before you make an offer.

Once you sign and fund, Atlantic Title Firm records your deed (and mortgage, if any) with the Broward County Clerk in Fort Lauderdale (the County Records Division), pays the statutory recording fee of $10 for the first page plus $8.50 per additional page, and remits the deed and note doc stamps and intangible tax. Electronic recording means a Miramar deed is usually on record the same day.

Miramar Title & Property Considerations
Miramar’s west side was platted from drained agricultural land, so old canal and drainage-district easements appear on many surveys. Homes near Miramar Parkway’s commercial corridor may carry cross-access easements. Some addresses with Miramar mail are actually Pembroke Pines, West Park or unincorporated Broward, with different millage.
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.

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.
How long does HOA approval take in a Miramar gated community?
Often two to four weeks for a master and sub-association. We submit the application the day the file opens so the approval is back before the closing date.
What is a municipal lien search and why does Miramar need one?
A city letter listing open permits, code violations and unpaid fees against the property. Lenders expect it in Broward, and open permits are the most common reason a closing slips.
