The Hidden Cost of Florida Living: Property Taxes

Florida has no state income tax—and that’s a big draw.


But Here's the Trap

Most buyers underestimate property taxes.

Why? Because the bill shown on listings is often based on the seller's purchase price—years ago.

Once you buy, the county resets the assessed value—often bumping your tax bill by thousands.

And unless you file for the homestead exemption? You're overpaying every year.


This isn’t fine print. It’s a real, recurring cost most agents don’t explain.

I do. Because surprises don’t build trust.
