Property taxes
✓ Certified county tax rollThe current taxable value ($39,268) is above the asking price. After a sale the assessment is typically set from market value, which here would be lower than the current taxable value, so the estimate is lower. Confirm with the county property appraiser — the appraiser, not the sale price, sets the assessment.
Certified 2025 tax roll values for this parcel (Florida DOR). The roll gives values, not the bill; the current owner’s bill above is estimated from the taxable value.

Comparable recent sales
6 closed sales within about 3 miles in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Median of these 6 sales: $228,000 ($158/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $60,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 78% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1940 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
For reference, this home is listed at $60,000 ($42/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 621 S 18TH Street, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1940 (86 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Putnam County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 1,440 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $175/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $500 less per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (−74%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 621 S 18TH Street and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 621 S 18TH Street was built in 1940 and has 1,440 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 621 S 18TH Street in?
621 S 18TH Street is in Hillcrest in Palatka, Putnam County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Why might property taxes on 621 S 18TH Street differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $175 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $500 less per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (−74%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 621 S 18TH Street in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
