Riviera Beach Title Company
A licensed Florida title agency closing real estate in Riviera Beach, Palm Beach County and statewide — with the local knowledge Riviera Beach files demand.
Atlantic Title Firm provides title insurance, escrow, and closing services throughout Riviera Beach and the rest of Palm Beach County. Buyers, sellers, FSBOs, investors, and lenders rely on us for accurate, on-time closings — backed by local Riviera Beach know-how and statewide reach. Riviera Beach is two cities in one: Singer Island, a barrier island of oceanfront condo towers and Intracoastal estates, and the mainland, a working-class port city of 1950s block homes, a marina district under redevelopment and one of the most active investor markets in Palm Beach County. Our Riviera Beach closings run from Singer Island luxury condos under milestone rules to mainland flips, estate sales and redevelopment parcels.
On a typical $380,000 Riviera Beach sale, the Florida-specific closing costs run about $4,662 (deed doc stamps + owner’s title + recording). In Palm Beach County, the seller customarily pays the owner’s title policy and usually chooses the closing agent.
Title & Closing Costs in Riviera Beach
Sellers and buyers in Riviera Beach ask the same first question: what does the state take? The answer is the deed doc stamps at $0.70 per $100 of the sale price and the promulgated owner's title premium, a rate fixed by Florida regulation rather than by the title company. On a $380,000 Riviera Beach sale the two look like this:

What Is Different About Closing in Riviera Beach
Singer Island condos. The oceanfront towers date from the 1960s onward and fall under Florida’s milestone inspection and reserve rules, with concrete-restoration assessments common. We pull the inspection and SIRS status and read approved minutes for pending assessments.
Mainland investor and estate files. The 1950s grid sees steady flips and heirs’-property sales. We check the city lien letter, code-enforcement liens and unpermitted work, and sort out probate versus non-probate transfers on inherited homes.
Marina and Intracoastal titles. Waterfront lots and marina slips raise seawall ownership, sovereign submerged land and slip-conveyance questions. We confirm the seawall sits on the lot and exactly what a slip conveyance covers.
Redevelopment and CRA parcels. The marina district and Broadway corridor bring assemblage purchases, CRA covenants and mixed-use titles. We identify every recorded covenant on the commitment.
Who Pays for Title Insurance in Riviera Beach?
Riviera Beach follows the seller-pays convention used across Palm Beach County: the seller covers the owner's title insurance premium and, in exchange, selects the title and closing agent. Treat it as a starting point rather than a rule. The contract can put the premium on the buyer, split it, or leave the seller paying while the buyer chooses the closer. We work all of those arrangements every week.

Property Taxes & Homestead in Riviera Beach
Property taxes in Riviera Beach are set by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's assessment and a stack of millage rates that together come to roughly 20.6 mills (the 2025 City of Riviera Beach total rate; unincorporated Palm Beach County parcels use a different, usually lower, rate). Buy a homestead and you get up to $50,000 in exemptions plus the Save Our Homes 3% cap going forward, but the cap the seller enjoyed does not transfer: the assessment returns to market value the January after closing. Our estimator models both.

Recording is the last step that makes a Riviera Beach sale official. The deed, the mortgage and any affidavits are filed with the Palm Beach County Clerk in West Palm Beach at Florida's statutory rate of $10 for the first page and $8.50 per additional page. Atlantic Title Firm prepares the package, pays the doc stamps and intangible tax, records electronically on closing day and delivers your recorded deed and title policy.

Riviera Beach Title & Property Considerations
Riviera Beach’s 1920s plats carry vacated streets and FEC railroad rights of way, and the port side carries industrial-use covenants on adjoining parcels. Title-fraud attempts against elderly and absent owners are a real risk in the older grid, which we screen for. Some addresses with Riviera Beach mail are actually Palm Beach Gardens, Lake Park or Palm Beach Shores, with different millage.
Deeds record with the Palm Beach County Clerk in West Palm Beach, with a north-county branch in Palm Beach Gardens. Recording is statewide, $10 for the first page and $8.50 per additional page, and we e-record on closing day.
Our Riviera Beach 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.

What do title insurance and doc stamps cost on a Riviera Beach sale?
On a $380,000 Riviera Beach sale the Florida-specific items are about $2,660 in deed documentary stamps, $1,975 in owner's title insurance and roughly $27 in recording. Our Riviera Beach closing cost calculator adds lender fees and prorations.
Who pays for title insurance in Palm Beach County?
The seller customarily pays for the owner's title policy in Palm Beach County and usually chooses the closing agent. It is negotiable and the contract controls.
Does a Singer Island condo need a milestone inspection before I buy?
If the building is three stories or taller and past the statutory age, the association must have completed one, and lenders now ask for it. We pull the status with the estoppel.
My family's Riviera Beach house was never probated. Can I sell it?
Often, yes, after a summary or formal probate, or through a non-probate path if the deed allows. We review the deed and the family situation and tell you which applies.
