Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 7 closings a year (10-yr average 4.1).

At FOREST LAKES GARDENS SEC’s $557,450 median and Miami-Dade County’s adopted 17.59 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $9,810 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $9,090 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 Miami-Dade County tax page.
Cash bought 0% of recorded FOREST LAKES GARDENS SEC sales in the window ending 2026-07 (0 of 4) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close.
