Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 543 74Th Street, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1958 (68 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- FEMA flood zone AE: lenders generally require flood insurance here — get an elevation certificate and a flood quote before the inspection period ends.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Monroe County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Confirm square footage and room dimensions independently.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $6,614/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

What community is 543 74Th Street in?
