On a median-priced Carol City Gardens 2nd Ad home ($560,000), property taxes at Miami-Dade County’s typical millage of 17.5932 run roughly $8,973 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 Miami-Dade County.
At Carol City Gardens 2nd Ad’s $560,000 median and Miami-Dade County’s adopted 17.59 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $9,850 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $9,140 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 Miami-Dade County tax page.

Typical asking rent across Miami-Dade County sits near $2,859 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 0.7% year over year.

Home prices run about 7.63x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside.

The county lost a net 40,258 people in the latest IRS county-migration year.

If you’re selling in Carol City Gardens 2nd Ad
