In Sarasota, former Chief Justice Lee Hayworth has stated in court at a foreclosure trial that the issue of documentary stamps not being paid has to be raised as an affirmative defense or it doesn’t count–there you have it!.

The same strategy can be used in Florida. Documentary Stamp Taxes must be paid for each assignment of mortgage pursuant to Florida Statute 201.08 and Somma v. Metra Electronics Corp. (Fla. 5th DCA 1999). The court lack jurisdiction when the taxes have not been paid. Even in appeal this defense can be raised for the first time. Practically all mortgages in foreclosure can use this defense. It is also another way to bring in stolen money to state coffer.
