Law Firm Hosts Webinar on Doc Stamps

The Gulf Coast law firm of Emmanuel Sheppard & Condon hosted an important webinar November 1 on doc stamps. Documentary stamp tax is an excise tax imposed on certain documents executed, delivered, or recorded in Florida. Buyers and sellers of real estate in Florida have some familiarity with the documentary stamp tax as it typically shows up on their settlement statements as a closing cost. Whether the seller alone or both the seller and buyer pay documentary stamp taxes depends on the type of transaction.

The webinar was informative and well attended by a variety of local mortgage lenders. In the 7-hour webinar, a tremendous number of topics were covered including Deed Tax on Contributions, Deeds in Lieu, Overview of Documentary Stamp Taxes and Nonrecurring Intangible Taxes in Florida Credit Transactions, Non-revolving Loans and Revolving Loans Secured by Real Property, Letters of Credit and more.
