At DINNER LAKE SHORES PH 01’s $349,500 median and Polk County’s adopted 16.19 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,660 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,980 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 Polk County tax page.
