At COUNTRYSIDE @ UNIVERSITY’s $185,000 median and Alachua County’s adopted 16.56 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,060 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,410 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 Alachua County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $184,000 against the $185,000 recorded sold median (-1%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 8 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 25% of COUNTRYSIDE @ UNIVERSITY’s listings are under contract, against 28% for ZIP 32608 and 24% for Alachua County as a whole — roughly in line with its surroundings.
