Documentary Stamp Tax collections in FY 2020-21 topped the FY 2005-06 peak reached at the height of Florida's
housing boom. This milestone was particularly remarkable considering the prior year (FY 2019-20) registered only
70.8 percent of that level after steadily increasing for ten years from a low of 26.6 percent. The results for FY 2021-
22 were even more eye-popping with collections soaring to nearly $5.4 billion.
The market environment leading to this result was caused by the record low interest rates arising from the Federal
Reserve's actions to stem the severity of the pandemic's economic disruption. As rates rise and affordability is
increasingly an issue, Documentary Stamp Tax collections are expected to decline in FY 2022-23 by -15.6% and by
another -10.7% in FY 2023-24.
