Miami-Dade County recording fees

County charges verified August 2026 against the Miami-Dade Clerk recording fees. Counties change fees without notice — we confirm the exact amount on your invoice before anything is submitted.

• • Miami-Dade is the one Florida county with its own documentary stamp rate — $0.60 per $100 rather than the statewide $0.70, plus a surtax on conveyances other than single-family residences.
• • Getting the stamp calculation wrong is the most common reason a Miami-Dade deed is rejected or short-paid.

Our flat $58 service fee is billed on top of the county charges, itemized on one invoice. No subscription, no monthly minimum, no per-seat software fee — you pay only when you record, and you approve the invoice first.
