Florida residents what is the cost of annual homeowners insurance on your property, and taxes? |
Since the hurricanes hit I know that it has gone up, but was wondering where, in FL your located and what they annual premium is, as well as taxes? I'm in Orlando and my condo association payment went up by $70 per month due to rising insurance costs. Property taxes are different for everyone because they are based upon the current "value" of your property--which is not the same as the current selling prices of houses. The "current value" is really based upon the price you paid for the house--however long ago you bought it--with a nominal increase per year. There is a limit to the increase. Also, taxes are based upon whether you live in the house or not. People who live in the house they own--as opposed to renting it out--qualify for the Homestead Exemption, which reduces the amount of taxes you pay. That being said, my taxes this year were $560. Source(s): Orlando resident and WDW cast member since 2002. It's higher on a new house, because I don't think you can homestead for the first year. Depending on where you live, it's anywhere from 1500 to 6000+ for homeowners insurance. Higher if you live on the beach. Property taxes are based on property value, and the location, so you'd need to check the county websites for where you want to live to see if the millage rates are there. I have never filed a claim and am not in a flood zone. My home owner's, for a 3/2 under 2000 square feet is almost $3000 a year. Property tax is usually 1 -1 1/2% of the value. My insurance is 3 times the property tax. It depends on whether or not you live in old or new construction. |
