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.

What it really costs to own 157 Wandering Wetlands Circle
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 $4,525/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $539,900 and the first-year bill resets to about $8,475/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 17.29 mills (county-average millage, estimate)); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr. |
|---|---|
| CDD / special assessments | This listing reports $1,086/yr in CDD or special-district assessments on the tax bill (MLS, TaxOtherAnnualAssessmentAmount). |
| HOA dues | $515/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 Manatee County is $2,019/yr (5,326 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 $1,500–$3,000/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 2015. An original roof is about 11 years old: inside the 15-year window Florida carriers use, but ask for the roof's permit date before you bind coverage. |
Estimated carrying cost at the asking price, before the mortgage: about $1,480/month (tax $706, CDD $90, HOA $515, insurance $168). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.

Comparable recent sales
6 closed sales in RIVER STRAND 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: $352,500 ($218/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
The Messtimate
Our automated estimate of the likely sale-price range for this home — modeled from recent closed sales nearby adjusted to today's market, a local size-and-age model, and the county tax roll. It is an estimate, not an appraisal, not market value, and not an offer. A licensed agent's CMA sees the condition, the lot, and the live market that a model can't.
Directional estimate — built from 10 comparable closed sales in RIVER STRAND (same property type, closed within the last 18 months, each adjusted to today's market).
Track record: across 2,984 recent closed sales we scored, the closed price landed inside the Messtimate range 58% of the time; median miss 9.6% (closed sales statewide, FL + GA feeds that permit an automated estimate). Re-scored weekly; last 2026-10-20.
Actual list price: $539,900 ($266/sq ft) — the seller's asking price is not an input to this range; compare the two.
A 50% spread on the same house — here is what a model can't see:
- Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one.
- Carrying costs & concessions — this home carries HOA dues of $515/mo and a CDD assessment of about $1,086/yr; insurance, CDD/HOA and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And what the live market is doing right now:
- This home: 178 days on market vs. a 69-day community median
- 6 active listings competing, 4 under contract
- 61 closed here in the last 12 months

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 157 Wandering Wetlands Circle, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2015: confirm the roof and HVAC install dates and whether any builder or manufacturer warranty transfers.
- HOA dues are listed at $515/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
- A CDD assessment of about $1,086/yr is on record: confirm the bond balance and remaining term with the district; it appears on the tax bill.
- 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 Manatee County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 2,027 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 $8,475/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $3,950 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+87%). 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 157 Wandering Wetlands Circle and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 157 Wandering Wetlands Circle was built in 2015 and has 2,027 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 3.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 157 Wandering Wetlands Circle in?
157 Wandering Wetlands Circle is in River Strand in Bradenton, Manatee County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 157 Wandering Wetlands Circle have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $515 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
What is a CDD fee?
A Community Development District fee funds a community's roads, amenities, and infrastructure through a bond and appears on the annual tax bill. This parcel shows a CDD assessment of about $1,086 per year; confirm the exact figure with the county.
Why might property taxes on 157 Wandering Wetlands Circle differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $8,475 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $3,950 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+87%). 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.
Are short-term rentals allowed at 157 Wandering Wetlands Circle?
Many communities restrict short-term rentals, and city/county rules also apply. Confirm the current HOA/CDD rules and local ordinances directly before assuming any rental use.
Is 157 Wandering Wetlands Circle 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.
