Tax: FL property quit claim from personal to LLC

Hi All!

I have a quick question. I purchased an investment property in Tempa, Florida this year. Right after I closed, I transfer it from my personal name to my 100% own LLC.

Recently, someone mentioned doing that will subject to some kind of transfer tax or stamp tax?

Has anyone have experience with this?

Thanks a bunch!

    Generally, this will not trigger transfer tax.  However, it likely violated your due-on-sale clause on your mortgage. While that is also low risk, you have made it more difficult to do a cash-out-refi should your property appreciate.  Unless you want a commercial loan, you'll have to transfer it back into your name and wait 6 months before doing a refi.

    @Dorothy Pang There is a transfer tax (0.6-0.7%)in FL based on the current mortgage balance.

    Thank you, guys! @Ken Naim, you are right! Had to pay a penalty for the late payment :( But thanks so much!
