Orlando Title Company
Title insurance, escrow & real estate closings in Orlando — local Orlando knowledge, licensed across all 67 Florida counties.
Atlantic Title Firm is a Florida title company serving Orlando and the surrounding Orange County area. We handle title insurance, escrow, and real estate closings for buyers, sellers, for-sale-by-owner deals, investors, and lenders — with local Orlando knowledge and the reach to close anywhere in the state. Orlando's housing runs from historic brick-street neighborhoods around the downtown lakes to enormous master-planned communities like Lake Nona and Horizon West. Community Development District (CDD) assessments, HOA estoppels, and new-construction builder deeds are everyday parts of an Orlando closing.
On a typical $390,000 Orlando sale, the Florida-specific closing costs run about $4,782 (deed doc stamps + owner’s title + recording). In Orange County, the seller customarily pays the owner’s title policy and usually chooses the closing agent.
Title & Closing Costs in Orlando
Two line items drive most of the Florida-specific cost of an Orlando closing: the deed documentary stamp tax, charged at $0.70 per $100 in Orange County, and owner’s title insurance, set at state-promulgated rates that are identical at every Florida title company. In Orange County the seller customarily pays the owner’s policy.

Who Pays for Title Insurance in Orlando?
In Orange County, the settled custom is that the seller pays for the owner's title policy and, because the paying party typically selects the closing agent, that decision traditionally rests with the seller on an Orlando sale. Remember, though, this is a county custom rather than a statute — every term is negotiable, so if you're selling you can name your own title company in the contract.

Property Taxes & Homestead in Orlando
In Orlando, taxes are set by the Orange County Property Appraiser at an approximate combined millage near 19.5 mills per $1,000 of taxable value. Your permanent home qualifies for the homestead exemption — up to $50,000 off taxable value plus the Save Our Homes 3% annual assessment cap — provided you own and occupy it by January 1. Because Florida resets the assessment to market value the January following a sale, plan your budget around a current market estimate, not the seller's existing tax bill.

Once you close, the deed and mortgage for your Orlando property go on record at the Orange County Clerk of the Circuit Court. Recording fees are fixed by Florida statute statewide — $10 for the first page and $8.50 for each page after. Atlantic Title Firm takes care of it end to end: document prep, doc-stamp remittance, and recording, so your Orlando closing is finalized and your title secured.

Orlando Title & Property Considerations
Orlando's booming master-planned communities (Lake Nona, Horizon West, Laureate Park) frequently carry Community Development District (CDD) bond assessments that must be verified and disclosed, plus HOA estoppels and capital-contribution fees. Older neighborhoods around the downtown lakes bring longer chains of title and renovation history.
We design each Orlando title search to surface exactly these kinds of problems ahead of closing, clearing them so nothing clouds your title after the keys change hands.

Many newer Orlando-area communities have one — we verify the assessment and any remaining bond so it's fully disclosed before you close.
