Common Tampa Situations

We see these often. Each one has a guide with more detail.

PCS orders from MacDill

MacDill Air Force Base, on Tampa's Interbay Peninsula, hosts U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command. We can often plan a closing around your report date.

Selling before a military move

Storm or flood damage

During Hurricane Helene in 2024, the Old Port Tampa gauge read 6.83 feet above mean higher high water, per the National Weather Service. We often buy storm-damaged homes as-is.

Selling a house that needs repairs

A home in a historic district

Tampa has four local historic districts, including Hyde Park, Seminole Heights and Tampa Heights. Exterior repairs there usually need city review, and we often buy these homes as-is.

How a cash offer is put together

Insurance costs or new flood rules

Citizens is phasing in required flood coverage, reaching most residential policies with wind coverage by January 1, 2027. We often still buy these homes.

Selling a house that needs repairs

You inherited a house

Florida offers summary administration for some estates of $150,000 or less, or when the owner died over two years ago. Many heirs talk with a probate attorney first.

Selling an inherited house

You are behind on payments

In Florida, owners can usually redeem a foreclosed home until the clerk files the certificate of sale. Requesting an offer early can give you more options.

Selling a house in pre-foreclosure

Your listing expired

The median Tampa home took 60 days to sell in September 2026. If your listing ended, a cash offer is another path to consider.

Selling after your listing expired

You own a rental

We often buy rentals with tenants in place. Share the lease details with us up front so your offer reflects them.

Florida Rules Worth Knowing

The basics for selling a home in Hillsborough County. General information, not legal or tax advice.

Documentary stamp tax

Florida taxes deeds at 70 cents per $100 of consideration (Fla. Stat. 201.02). It is paid when the deed is recorded, and your contract says who pays it.

Seller and flood disclosure

Under Johnson v. Davis (Fla. 1985), sellers disclose known hidden defects that affect value. Fla. Stat. 689.302 adds a flood disclosure at or before signing.

Foreclosure and redemption

Florida mortgages are foreclosed in court (Fla. Stat. 702.01). Owners can usually redeem until the clerk files the certificate of sale (Fla. Stat. 45.0315).

Homestead portability

Save Our Homes caps yearly assessment growth on a homestead. You may move up to $500,000 of that benefit to a new Florida homestead (Fla. Stat. 193.155).

Tampa Seller Questions

Straight answers on how a cash sale works here.

Who makes the offer on my house?

We do. Cash Offer Company buys houses in Hillsborough County. Requesting an offer is free and there's no obligation.

I'm PCSing out of MacDill. Can I still sell?

Often, yes. We can often set a closing date around your orders. A title company can explain your signing options.

Do I need to fix storm damage before I sell?

Usually not. We often buy Tampa homes as-is. Florida still requires a flood disclosure under Fla. Stat. 689.302, so share what you know.

My house is in a historic district. Can I sell it as-is?

Often, yes. Exterior work in Tampa's local historic districts usually needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, so the buyer plans for that review.

Who pays the documentary stamp tax?

Florida taxes deeds at 70 cents per $100 of the price. Your purchase agreement usually says who pays, and a title company can confirm it.

Can I sell during a foreclosure?

In many cases, yes. After a judgment, Florida sets the sale 20 to 35 days out under Fla. Stat. 45.031. Talk with an attorney about your dates.

Can I sell an inherited house before probate is done?

Often, yes. You may be able to agree on a sale that closes once the court process allows. A probate attorney can confirm your authority.

What happens to my Save Our Homes benefit?

You may be able to move it to a new Florida homestead, generally within three years. Ask the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser about Form DR-501T.
