Just out of curiosity, what would the Florida real property tax be on a single family house valued at $450,000?
I don't live in Florida but I have a good friend who does. My understanding is that the answer is "depends". Have you lived there for 5+ years or did you just move there. If the former, probably something like $1500/year, if the latter, something like $6-8k/year. The issue is, SAVE OUR HOMES limited the increase to 3%/year, but property values shot up in the past 36 months or so. Which means people can't move into a home of the same value because the taxes become insane, but are perfectly reasonably(not that any tax is, but I digress) if you lived there for a length of time.
