At Thomas M Henkels Add’s $2,925,000 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $48,770 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $48,100 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.
