What to expect on a Redondo Beach title order
Redondo Beach has no city-level documentary transfer tax beyond the standard Los Angeles County rate of $1.10 per $1,000 of sales price. The seller customarily pays for the owner's title insurance policy in Redondo Beach transactions; the buyer pays for the lender's policy when financing is involved. Standard prelim turnaround is 2–4 business days, which is why opening title promptly once a Redondo deal goes pending — particularly on PUD, condo, and view-lot files — keeps escrow on track.
