Active inventory across Pinellas County has fallen over the past year (-13%).

What it costs to own in Bel-Forest Manor Condo
On a median-priced Bel-Forest Manor Condo home ($180,000), property taxes at Pinellas County’s typical millage of 19.3862 run roughly $2,520 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.

Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Pinellas County.
At Bel-Forest Manor Condo’s $180,000 median and Pinellas County’s adopted 19.39 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,490 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,680 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Pinellas County tax page.

Typical asking rent across Pinellas County sits near $2,026 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 0.8% year over year.

Home prices run about 5.27x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside. If you are weighing an investment purchase in Bel-Forest Manor Condo, ask your agent for community-level rent comps rather than county averages — the spread between communities is wide.
