Florida-Specific Selling Considerations

Florida has unique real estate laws that affect your sale. Here's what matters when selling your Tallahassee home:

• No state income tax — Florida is one of nine states without it, so you won't owe state tax on your sale (federal capital gains still apply)
• Judicial foreclosure state — Florida foreclosures must go through court (Fla. Stat. Chapter 702). Timeline is 6-18 months, giving sellers more time to act
• No statutory post-sale redemption — once the clerk files the certificate of sale, your right to redeem is extinguished (Fla. Stat. § 45.0315)
• Hurricane insurance crisis — many older Tallahassee homes are now uninsurable, meaning traditional buyers can't get financing. Cash buyers are often the only viable exit
• Disclosure requirements — Florida common law requires sellers to disclose material defects affecting property value (Johnson v. Davis standard)
• Homestead exemption — Florida's unlimited homestead protection (Art. X § 4) doesn't prevent mortgage foreclosure but protects against other creditors
• Deficiency judgments — Florida allows lender deficiency suits within 1 year of sale (Fla. Stat. § 702.06)
