Estimate: asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × Manatee County rate (17.29 mills, county-average millage, 2025; verify with the property appraiser). Not a bill.
⚠️
Property 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.
Current owner’s estimated bill $2,400/yr ($200/mo) — taxable value $138,331 × 17.29 mills
$475 more each year
(+20%)
The current owner’s taxable value is below today’s asking price; after a sale the assessment is set from market value, so the estimated bill is higher. Exemptions and portability can reduce it.

The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in Manatee County in the last 18 months. Only 1 qualifies for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Want a property-specific value review? A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a free comparative market analysis using the home, the lot, its condition, and the live market.
Methodology: the range would be 881 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 1, 2026.

Jul 2026 · Infrastructure
Florida's new state budget funds five major Manatee County projects
The 2026 state budget signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis directs 12.4 million dollars to five Manatee County projects, including the Singletary Road Bridge replacement, a 51st Street West extension in Bradenton, and design work for a Fort Hamer Road and I-75 interchange. The list also funds Fresh Start Manatee Phase 2 and the Valor Commons veterans hub.
Why it matters: State funding for road, bridge and interchange work expands transportation infrastructure and supports future growth capacity across Manatee County. The site is about 4 miles east of Zz Stellar Manatee Unassigned.
The Manatee County Commission advanced business terms for the next phase of an 80 million dollar, 190,000 square foot sports complex at Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, featuring four ice rinks including a 2,500 seat arena plus retail, restaurants and sports medicine space. Construction is expected to begin in 2027 with an opening targeted for 2028.
Why it matters: A large ice and sports complex adds indoor recreation and commercial space to the Lakewood Ranch area and expands the local sports tourism venue base. The project is about 18 miles east of Zz Stellar Manatee Unassigned, elsewhere in Manatee County.
The City of Bradenton held a ceremonial groundbreaking for Future City Park next to LECOM Park, adding three new baseball fields, expanded parking and a community resource center offering education and career programs. Officials aim to complete all phases by 2028.
Why it matters: New ballfields, parking and a resource center expand public recreation and civic facilities in the Bradenton area. The project is about 3 miles east of Zz Stellar Manatee Unassigned, elsewhere in Manatee County.

Before you decide
Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 14 Lafayette Street, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
Built in 1925 (101 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 $33/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
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 Manatee County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
Listed living area is 881 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 $2,875/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $475 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+20%). 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 14 Lafayette Street and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 14 Lafayette Street was built in 1925 and has 881 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 14 Lafayette Street in?
14 Lafayette Street is in Braden Castle Park in Bradenton, Manatee County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 14 Lafayette Street have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $33 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 14 Lafayette Street differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $2,875 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $475 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+20%). 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 14 Lafayette Street in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone AE, a special flood hazard area where lenders generally require flood insurance on a mortgaged purchase. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer, and ask for an elevation certificate.
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.
