Lender’s Title Insurance Cost

  • Based on loan amount, not purchase price.

  • Usually slightly lower than the owner’s policy.

  • Often required when you're buying with a mortgage or refinancing.


Discounts & Tips

  • Reissue credit: If the home was recently insured (typically within 3 years), you might qualify for a discount of up to 40%.

  • Simultaneous issue: Buying both an owner’s and lender’s policy at the same time? The lender’s policy usually gets a deep discount.

Total Closing Costs Reminder

Title insurance is just one piece of the closing costs pie — usually 0.5% to 1% of the purchase price in Florida. Click here for more information about Title Giant rates.
