What documents are needed when an LLC buys or sells property?

Usually the articles of organization, the operating agreement or a resolution showing who may sign, and a current certificate of status from the Florida Division of Corporations at Sunbiz. We tell you exactly what your entity needs.

Can owners or members sign from another state?

Yes. They can sign by remote online notarization or by mail-away closing with a local notary, as long as the lender, if there is one, accepts that method.

How long does a commercial closing take?

It depends on the due diligence period and financing in your contract. Starting title and survey review early is the best way to meet the closing date.

What if the seller is a foreign person or company?

Under FIRPTA the buyer must generally withhold 15 percent of the sale price for the IRS unless an exception or IRS withholding certificate applies. We identify this early and handle the withholding at closing.

Is commercial title insurance more expensive per dollar?

No. Florida promulgated rates apply, and the rate per $1,000 falls as coverage increases, so larger policies cost less per dollar of coverage.

What Commercial Title Work Involves

Commercial closings carry more moving parts than a home sale, so we start the title work as soon as the contract is signed to give you time inside your due diligence period.

Title commitment review:we walk through every exception so you know what the policy will and will not cover.

Surveys:we review the survey against the title so encroachments and easements are caught early.

Entity documents:we confirm who can sign for an LLC, corporation or trust and what proof of authority is needed.

Endorsements:we identify endorsements that lenders and buyers commonly require on commercial policies.

Flexible signing:out-of-state owners and members can sign by remote online notarization or mail-away closing.

How Commercial Title Insurance Is Priced

Florida sets title insurance premiums for commercial policies too. The rate per $1,000 of coverage drops on larger policies: $5.75 up to $100,000, $5.00 from $100,000 to $1 million, $2.50 from $1 million to $5 million, $2.25 from $5 million to $10 million and $2.00 above $10 million.
