"Mortgages, Liens, and Other Evidences of Indebtedness
Documentary stamp tax is due on a mortgage, lien, or other evidence of indebtedness filed or recorded in Florida. The tax rate is $.35 per $100 (or portion thereof) and is based on the amount of the indebtedness or obligation secured, even if the indebtedness is contingent. When a mortgage, lien, or other evidence of indebtedness is given to secure a previously unsecured indebtedness or obligation upon which the maximum tax of $2,450 was paid, tax is due on the full amount of the indebtedness or obligation secured, minus the $2,450 already paid." |
