Down payment help
Closed for now
Parrish is unincorporated, so the county's loan covers homes priced $400,000 or less. But Manatee County confirmed on Oct 19, 2026 that its SHIP loan has no money left this year, and 2026-27 funding hasn't been decided. We'll check again by Nov 16, 2026.

Title insurance
Seller usually pays
In Manatee County the seller customarily pays for the owner's title policy and usually picks the title company. It's custom, not law: Florida gives you the right to choose your own title agent, and who pays can be negotiated.
