Butler Title in Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade closings often involve high-rise condominiums, international buyers and sellers, entities and new construction. The county has its own deed stamp rate and surtax, and foreign sellers may be subject to FIRPTA withholding. Our attorney-led team handles Miami-Dade County closings from our Aventura office and our Miami office, or fully remote.
