Tamarac Title Company
A licensed Florida title agency closing real estate in Tamarac, Broward County and statewide — with the local knowledge Tamarac files demand.
Atlantic Title Firm provides title insurance, escrow, and closing services throughout Tamarac and the rest of Broward County. Buyers, sellers, FSBOs, investors, and lenders rely on us for accurate, on-time closings — backed by local Tamarac know-how and statewide reach. Tamarac was built in the 1960s and 1970s as a retirement city, and much of it still is: Kings Point, the Mainlands, Westwood and the villa communities along Commercial Boulevard are 55+, Woodmont wraps a golf course, and the newer Central Parc and Colony West subdivisions bring families to the west side. Our Tamarac closings are dominated by 55+ condos and villas, estate sales and the county’s buyer-pays custom.
On a typical $340,000 Tamarac sale, the Florida-specific closing costs run about $4,182 (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 Tamarac
Sellers and buyers in Tamarac 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 $340,000 Tamarac sale the two look like this:

What Is Different About Closing in Tamarac
Buyer pays, buyer chooses. Broward custom puts the owner’s title premium on the buyer, who therefore usually picks the closing agent. Most Tamarac contracts follow that, and we are glad to be the buyer’s choice.
Kings Point and the 55+ communities. Kings Point alone has thousands of condo and villa units with age covenants, approval processes, reserve-funding assessments and, for the taller buildings, milestone inspections. We order the estoppel, confirm the age covenant and pull the inspection and SIRS status.
Estate sales. Many Tamarac sellers are estates. We confirm the personal representative’s authority, sort out probate versus non-probate transfer and clear homestead questions before listing.
Municipal lien letters. Tamarac issues a lien and permit letter that lenders expect, and open shutter and roof permits are the most common delay. We order it the day the file opens.
Who Pays for Title Insurance in Tamarac?
Tamarac 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 Tamarac 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 Tamarac
Property taxes in Tamarac are set by the Broward County Property Appraiser's assessment and a stack of millage rates that together come to roughly 21.1 mills (the 2025 City of Tamarac total rate; unincorporated Broward 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 Tamarac sale official. The deed, the mortgage and any affidavits are filed with the Broward County Clerk in Fort Lauderdale (the County Records Division) 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.

Tamarac Title & Property Considerations
The Mainlands and Westwood are older single-story condos and co-ops with their own transfer mechanics, and Woodmont carries club and master-association questions since the golf course changed hands. Lake and canal lots carry drainage easements. Some addresses with Tamarac mail are actually Sunrise, Lauderhill, North Lauderdale or unincorporated Broward, with different millage.
