BAH, VA loans and the practical stuff

Housing allowance changes annually; look up the current Fort Stewart rate on the official DoD BAH calculator rather than trusting a stale number on a real estate site. VA loan funding fees and closing-cost rules are at VA.gov. Georgia assesses property tax on 40 percent of fair market value with homestead exemptions that vary by county; the full local picture is on our Liberty County property tax page (file by April 1).

Common questions

Is there a BAH rate for Jacksonville?

Yes. Basic Allowance for Housing is set by the Department of Defense for each location, rank, and dependency status. The 2026 rates took effect January 1, 2026 and rose about 4.2 percent on average. Look up your exact Jacksonville rate on the official DoD BAH tool by entering your zip code, pay grade, and dependents.

Can I buy in Jacksonville with a VA loan and no down payment?

Yes. A VA-backed loan requires no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. There is a one-time VA funding fee, which for first-time use with no down payment is 2.15 percent of the loan in 2026 (1.5 percent if you put down 5 percent or more). Borrowers receiving VA disability compensation are commonly exempt from the fee. Confirm your situation on VA.gov.

Which base is closest to the beaches?

NS Mayport. It sits on the coast at the mouth of the St. Johns River, so the Beaches communities (Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach) and Ponte Vedra are the shortest commute.

Do I have to live on base?

No. Many service members use their BAH toward buying or renting off base. With a VA loan and no down payment, buying is often competitive with renting once you factor in Florida's homestead exemption and no state income tax. Run the numbers with our mortgage and property-tax tools.
