Home and flood insurance
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Volusia County is $1,807/yr (3,573 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 $1,000–$2,500/yr; neither is a quote. Flood: this address maps to FEMA zone X, outside the high-risk zone; flood insurance is optional but most lenders and insurers recommend it. Statewide, a zone X flood policy runs about $500–$700/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not a quote).
Roof and age
Built in 1961. An original roof would be about 65 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 ownership costs
Estimated costs & disclosures
Estimated ownership costs for general information. Confirm each with the county, your lender, and an insurer. See data & estimate notes.
Property tax (first-year est.)
~$2,834/yr
Estimate: a typical Volusia effective rate applied to the list price before any exemptions. Florida bills change with reassessment, homestead and other exemptions, and local taxing districts — this is not your expected bill. Confirm with the county property appraiser.
CDD assessment
None on record
No CDD assessment appears in our records for this community. CDD assessments show on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector.
Insurance (illustrative range)
$1k–$2k/yr
An illustrative modeled range, not based on carrier underwriting and not a quote. Florida premiums vary significantly by roof age, wind-mitigation features, claims history, and carrier — a real quote can land well outside this range. Flood insurance not federally mandated (Zone X). Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.
HOA
None reported
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no mandatory association applies.
Environmental data
Flood zone & elevation
Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.
FEMA flood zone
Zone X
From the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. In this zone lender-required flood insurance is generally not mandated; confirm for the parcel.

Volusia County is on the Florida coast; wind coverage is a major part of the premium. Premiums and coverage vary by home (roof age, wind mitigation, claims history); obtain a quote from a licensed insurer.

Volusia County approves $13 million in ECHO grants for 10 projects
The council approved grants including $2.5 million each for Edgewater, Daytona Beach and the D Ranch Preserve nature center, plus a 250-foot Halifax River pier in Holly Hill, a boat dock in New Smyrna Beach, a DeBary splash pad and Port Orange's Willow Run Park.
Why it matters: Funds new waterfront access and park amenities across several Volusia communities. The site is about 4 miles southeast of Hilltop Haven.
Manufacturing and technology job fair set for Oct. 15 at Daytona State
Germfree, B. Braun, Teledyne, Embler Control Systems, Bylight, Pall Corporation and the Electrical Training Alliance will recruit at the Advanced Technology College on Williamson Boulevard in Daytona Beach. The fair runs 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., with a morning session for Volusia high school students.
Why it matters: Shows active hiring by regional manufacturing and technology employers. The site is about 7 miles south of Hilltop Haven.
VoTran changes routes Oct. 4, adds DeLand express and discontinues two routes
Route 61X adds weekday service between the Transfer Plaza and the DeLand ITF via I-4, while Routes 33 and 70 are discontinued. A new VoRide Sunday zone in the Daytona Beach area replaces fixed Sunday service on Routes 3, 4, 10 and 15. The County Council approved the changes on June 16.

Port Orange council upholds award of $14.4 million Cambridge Canal pump station contract
The council voted 5-0 on Sept. 15 to deny a bid protest, keeping the $14.4 million contract with Gregori Construction for the Cambridge Canal and Pump Station upgrade. It is the city's largest stormwater project and aims to reduce flooding and tidal impacts. A formal contract award returns to the council.
Why it matters: Stormwater capacity upgrades bear on flood-risk management for nearby Port Orange areas. The project is about 11 miles southeast of Hilltop Haven, elsewhere in Volusia County.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1961 Carolina Avenue and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1961 Carolina Avenue was built in 1961 and has 1,787 sq ft of living area, 2 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 1961 Carolina Avenue in?
1961 Carolina Avenue is in Hilltop Haven in Ormond Beach, Volusia County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 1961 Carolina Avenue have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 1961 Carolina Avenue differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $2,834 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. 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 1961 Carolina Avenue 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.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
