N O T I C E

Effective June 1, 2008, F.S. 201.022, is repealed, per Chapter 2008-24. The repeal means that the DR-219 form (Return of Transfers of interest in Real Property), previously required as a condition of recording any document transferring an interest in real property, will no longer exist.

Please be advised that the obligation to pay state documentary stamp taxes in Miami-Dade County at a rate of $0.60 per $100.00 on the total consideration is still in effect. Also still in effect is the surtax at a rate of $0.45 per $100.00 on the consideration (except single-family residence).

Failure to pay the full amount of documentary stamps due could result in a penalty by the Department of Revenue.

In order for us to determine the correct amount of documentary stamp taxes submitted, please provide us with the following information:

• amount of consideration
  
• whether or not the property is a single family residence
  
• folio number (Parcel ID#)
  
• breakdown of taxes being paid.

If you need assistance calculating the correct documentary stamp tax amount, please use the Automated Calculations of Deeds calculator which is located at http://www.miami-dadeclerk.com/dadecoc/Recorder_Calc.asp or the Voice Response at 305-275-1155, then press 6 and then 1.

Thank you,

HARVEY RUVIN
Clerk of Courts
Miami-Dade County
