What Is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 exchange, named for IRC Section 1031, allows an investor to defer capital gains tax when selling investment or business real estate and reinvesting the proceeds in like-kind replacement property. The rules are strict, and missing a deadline can cost you the tax deferral.

• 45-Day Identification Period: You must identify potential replacement properties in writing within 45 days of closing on the property you sold.
• 180-Day Closing Period: You must close on the replacement property within 180 days of the sale, or by your tax return due date if that comes first.
• Qualified Intermediary Requirement: Your sale proceeds must be held by a Qualified Intermediary, not by you, so you never take receipt of the funds.

Our Role: Title and Closing, Not Qualified Intermediary

Title Company of Florida handles the title insurance, escrow, and closing for your replacement property. We are not a Qualified Intermediary and we do not hold exchange funds as a QI. You choose your own QI, and we coordinate with them on the exchange documents, the assignment of the purchase contract, and the wire of exchange funds into escrow for closing. We also coordinate with your CPA or tax advisor as needed. We do not give tax advice.

Replacement Property Closing Process in Jacksonville

1. Exchange Setup: Send us your contract and your QI’s contact information, and we open the file the same day.
2. Title Search and Commitment: We search title, identify liens, open permits, and HOA or municipal issues, and issue a title commitment quickly so problems surface early in your 180-day window.
3. Vesting and Documentation: We confirm that the replacement property vests in the same taxpayer that sold the relinquished property, which is one of the most common exchange mistakes.
4. Escrow Coordination with Your QI: We provide your QI with the settlement statement and wiring instructions, verified by phone, so exchange funds arrive on time.
5. In-Person, Mobile, or Remote Closing: Sign with us in person, with a mobile notary, or remotely online.
6. Recording and Final Title Policy: We record your deed with Duval County and issue your owner’s title policy.

Local Closing Considerations in Duval County

Deeds and mortgages for Jacksonville properties are recorded with the Duval County Clerk of Courts. Florida documentary stamp tax on deeds is $0.70 per $100 of consideration, and new mortgages carry $0.35 per $100 in doc stamps plus intangible tax of 0.2%. We prepare and verify these figures on your settlement statement so there are no surprises on the replacement purchase. Common Jacksonville exchange properties include single-family rentals, small multifamily on the Westside and Arlington, and commercial or mixed-use buildings in the Southside and Beaches markets.
