Property taxes
✓ Certified tax roll · county-average rateProperty taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.
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.

What it really costs to own 1081 Bedford Avenue
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | The current owner's bill is about $2,975/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $655,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $11,325/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 18.72 mills (county-average millage, estimate)); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr. |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | $321/month per the listing record. Dues cover what the association documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study before you close. |
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Palm Beach County is $1,753/yr (18,387 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $2,500–$5,500/yr; neither is a quote. |
| Roof and age | Built in 1993. An original roof would be about 33 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report and ask for the roof permit date. |
Estimated carrying cost at the asking price, before the mortgage: about $1,411/month (tax $944, HOA $321, insurance $146). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.

Building permits
Comparable recent sales
4 closed sales in LAKE CATHERINE 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 4 sales: $639,500 ($412/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 — 4 comparable closed sales in LAKE CATHERINE, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $655,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1993 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot — this listing is waterfront; water frontage is priced far off a per-sq-ft average of the neighborhood.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — this home carries HOA dues of $321/mo; with insurance and any seller-paid buydown, that changes what a buyer actually pays, and a sq ft estimate ignores all of it.
- The pool — a private pool carries cost and value that living area doesn't capture.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- 4965 active listings competing, 1386 under contract
- 10 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $655,000 ($422/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 1081 Bedford Avenue, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1993 (33 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- HOA dues are listed at $321/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Palm Beach County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
- Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
- Listed living area is 1,552 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 $11,325/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $8,350 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+281%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1081 Bedford Avenue and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1081 Bedford Avenue was built in 1993 and has 1,552 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 1081 Bedford Avenue in?
1081 Bedford Avenue is in Lake Catherine in Palm Beach Gardens, Palm Beach County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 1081 Bedford Avenue have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $321 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 1081 Bedford Avenue differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $11,325 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $8,350 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+281%). 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 1081 Bedford Avenue in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with 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.
