What it costs to own in Paradise Island (Treasure Island)
On a median-priced Paradise Island (Treasure Island) home ($1.04M), property taxes at Pinellas County’s typical millage of 19.3862 run roughly $19,212 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.

At Paradise Island (Treasure Island)’s $1,041,000 median and Pinellas County’s adopted 19.39 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $20,180 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $19,370 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.

If you’re buying in Paradise Island (Treasure Island)
Time is on your side in Paradise Island (Treasure Island) right now. Tour aggressively, compare concessions — rate buydowns and credits often beat a small price cut — and let your agent use days-on-market as negotiating leverage. Every price cut on a listing is information.
If you’re selling in Paradise Island (Treasure Island)
