In Villas at Marsh Landing, homes sell in a median of about 53 days, a balanced pace where pricing and presentation both matter, and values have softened about 8% over the past year, so a disciplined pricing strategy is key.

What it costs to own in Villas at Marsh Landing
On a median-priced Villas at Marsh Landing home ($228,000), property taxes at Duval County’s typical millage of 17.865 run roughly $3,180 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.

At Villas at Marsh Landing’s $228,000 median and Duval County’s adopted 17.86 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,070 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,340 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.
