Property taxes are among the lowest dozen states in the country for the price of house, especially if it is homesteaded as your primary residence. Sales tax is 7% but does not apply to food or pharmaceuticals, unless eaten out in restaurants.
I'm in the boonies of North Marion County (Horse Country)...see post #33. I'm on the edge of the Ocala National Forest, about an hours drive to either the gulf or the ocean, and about two hours north of Disney. I have seven arces on a private spring-fed lake surrounded by Georgia-Pacific tree farms. It's more than six miles to the nearest store and about 20 to the closest city.
We have a 6% sales tax and no state income tax at all. There's a $25,000 homestead exemption on your primary residence, more if you are widowed, resulting in extremely low property taxes. And I believe there are additional exemptions for senior citizens or if you use your land for agricultural purposes.
