At Cherokee Heights’s $309,250 median and Bay County’s adopted 12.28 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,800 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,310 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 Bay County tax page.
