What it costs to own in The Preserve at Walnut Creek
On a median-priced The Preserve at Walnut Creek home ($305,000), property taxes at Broward County’s typical millage of 19.8427 run roughly $5,060 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.

At The Preserve at Walnut Creek’s $305,000 median and Broward County’s adopted 19.84 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,050 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,220 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.
