What it costs to own in The Surf at Cocoa Beach
On a median-priced The Surf at Cocoa Beach home ($1.06M), property taxes at Brevard County’s typical millage of 15.6037 run roughly $15,791 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Brevard County is about $2,348 a year (April 2026 filings); private-market quotes differ, and a good agent will tell you which carriers are actually writing here.
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 Brevard County.
At The Surf at Cocoa Beach’s $1,062,000 median and Brevard County’s adopted 15.6 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $16,570 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $15,950 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 Brevard County tax page.
Rents and the investor math
Typical asking rent across Brevard County sits near $1,913 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 1.0% year over year. County-level yield math pencils to roughly a 6.66% cap rate on typical numbers, before expenses. Home prices run about 4.55x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside. If you are weighing an investment purchase in The Surf at Cocoa Beach, ask your agent for community-level rent comps rather than county averages — the spread between communities is wide.

The county gained a net 10,298 people in the latest IRS county-migration year.

If you’re buying in The Surf at Cocoa Beach

If you’re selling in The Surf at Cocoa Beach

The wrong list price costs more than any commission difference.
