County transfer tax
No Pinellas County transfer tax add-on. Florida's documentary stamp tax on deeds (0.70% of consideration) and taxes on mortgages are set and collected statewide with no county add-on outside Miami-Dade County (per the existing data/transfer/florida.json record); Pinellas is not Miami-Dade so the state schedule fully covers it.
