Estimate your real year-1 property tax at purchase for any Florida county, then see how much you would save under Governor DeSantis's proposed $250,000 homestead exemption. The statewide average is about 17 mills, but your county and city set the real number.
Florida's property tax is set locally, so the rate swings widely from one county to the next. These pages cover the state's largest metro markets with a worked example bill and the DeSantis savings for each. The calculator behind them covers all 67 counties.
Your bill is your assessed value times the local millage rate, minus exemptions. For a new buyer the assessed value resets to your purchase price at closing, which is why your first bill rarely matches the seller's. A homesteaded primary residence gets a $50,000 exemption and the Save Our Homes 3% annual cap on assessment growth. The calculator applies all of this and then projects ten years forward.
Northeast Florida rates here are verified against county property appraisers. Statewide figures use Florida TaxWatch county average millage, so treat non-Northeast-Florida numbers as close estimates. Your exact rate depends on your city, your school district, and any CDD or special district serving your address.
