Florida Warranty Deed
PublicLegal-authored self-help deed form.
Provided for customers to complete with their own transaction information and submit to the proper local recording office. Recorder offices and state agencies may require separate supplemental forms, taxes, fees, or cover sheets, and requirements vary by jurisdiction and transaction. Review the product notes and confirm local recording requirements before relying on any completed deed.
What Is a Florida Warranty Deed?
Florida deed package last revised: July 2, 2026.
A Florida warranty deed transfers Florida real property with broad statutory warranty language from the grantor, subject to the exceptions and facts stated in the deed. It is often the higher-protection deed path for ordinary sale transfers, but it does not replace title search, title insurance, lender review, tax review, homestead review, or transaction-specific legal advice.
What Is Included After Checkout?
The Florida warranty deed package includes two editable Microsoft Word documents: the Florida Warranty Deed and a separate Florida Warranty Deed Instructions and Recording Checklist. The instruction file is separate so completion guidance is not accidentally recorded as part of the deed.
When This Florida Deed May Be Considered
This form may be considered when a Florida transfer calls for warranty-deed treatment and the grantor intends to give warranty promises, subject to stated exceptions. Review title exceptions, mortgage/lender requirements, documentary stamp tax, homestead spouse joinder, and title-company requirements before signing.
Florida Recording and Completion Notes
- Signing, witnesses, and notary: Florida deeds generally must be signed by the grantor in the presence of two subscribing witnesses and acknowledged before a notary or other authorized officer before recording.
- Recording office: Record with the Clerk of the Circuit Court / county recorder for the Florida county where the property is located.
- Legal description: Use the complete legal description from a reliable title source. A street address, parcel number, or property-appraiser summary is not a substitute.
- Recording space: Florida recording standards include first-page and later-page top-right blank-space requirements; do not shrink or remove recording-space areas when completing the document.
- Taxes and homestead: Documentary stamp tax, mortgage surtax or intangible-tax issues, Miami-Dade treatment, homestead spouse joinder, lender requirements, title insurance, and property-tax consequences can be fact-specific and should be reviewed before signing.
Warranty Deed vs. Other Florida Deeds
A Florida warranty deed provides broader warranty protection than a special warranty deed, fee simple no-warranty deed, or quitclaim deed. Use the deed type that matches the intended warranty scope and transaction, and do not use a quitclaim deed or no-warranty deed merely because it seems simpler.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Florida warranty deed require two witnesses?
Florida deeds generally require two subscribing witnesses and a notary acknowledgment for recording. Confirm execution details before signing.
Where do I record a Florida warranty deed?
Record the deed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court / county recorder in the Florida county where the real property is located.
What files are included with this Florida warranty deed product?
The product includes the editable Florida Warranty Deed Word document and a separate editable Florida Warranty Deed Instructions and Recording Checklist Word document.
Does a Florida warranty deed transfer my mortgage?
No. A deed changes title according to its terms; it does not release mortgage obligations or guarantee lender consent. Review due-on-sale, payoff, assumption, title, and insurance issues before recording.
Should Florida homestead property be reviewed before signing?
Yes. Florida homestead and spouse-joinder rules can be important even when one spouse alone holds title. Use counsel or title-company review for homestead, marital, tax, lender, or title-insured transfers.
