What Are the Costs of Selling a Home in Tampa?

Typical costs of selling a Tampa home include agent commissions, title fees, state transfer taxes, and potential repairs. Shane Vanderson helps you understand and plan for these expenses.

1. Real Estate Commissions

In Tampa, seller-paid commissions are usually around 5–6% of the sale price, split between buyer and seller agents.

2. State Transfer Taxes

Florida charges documentary stamp taxes at $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in Hillsborough County (Tampa).

3. Title Insurance and Settlement Fees

Sellers often pay for the owner’s title policy and closing fees. Shane reviews your closing statement to ensure accuracy.

4. Repairs and Concessions

Inspection negotiations may add costs. Shane advises on what repairs to make vs. offer credits.

5. HOA and Miscellaneous Costs

If your property is in an HOA, sellers typically pay prorated dues and any association transfer fees.
