Monthly Breakdown
Florida Homestead Exemption
If this is your primary residence, Florida's $50,000 homestead exemption reduces your taxable value, saving approximately $550/year (~$46/month). At a 1.1% tax rate, that's roughly $1,100/year back in your pocket. File with your county Property Appraiser by March 1 of the year after closing.
Florida-Specific Notes
- CDD:Community Development Districts fund infrastructure (roads, ponds, amenities) in new communities. This is added to your tax bill, not optional.
- Insurance:FL premiums run higher than national averages. New construction qualifies for wind-mitigation credits that can reduce premiums 20-40%.
- No state income tax:Florida has no state income tax, which means more take-home pay toward your mortgage.
