✓ Certified tax roll · county-average rate
Estimated property taxes after purchase
$4,925/yr
≈ $410/mo·effective rate ~1.57%
Estimate: asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × Hernando County rate (18.64 mills, county-average millage, 2025; verify with the property appraiser). Not a bill.
Current owner’s estimated bill $6,500/yr ($542/mo) — taxable value $348,468 × 18.64 mills
$1,575 less each year
(−24%)

The current taxable value ($348,468) is above the asking price. After a sale the assessment is typically set from market value, which here would be lower than the current taxable value, so the estimate is lower. Confirm with the county property appraiser — the appraiser, not the sale price, sets the assessment.

What it really costs to own 5598 Thorngrove Way

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 taxThe current owner's bill is about $6,500/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $314,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $4,925/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 18.64 mills (county-average millage, estimate)); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr.
CDD / special assessmentsThis listing reports $2,247/yr in CDD or special-district assessments on the tax bill (MLS, TaxOtherAnnualAssessmentAmount).
HOA dues$12/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 insuranceThe average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Hernando County is $1,699/yr (4,534 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–$2,000/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 ageBuilt in 2006. An original roof would be about 20 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 $751/month (tax $410, CDD $187, HOA $12, insurance $142). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.

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.

$344,100the mess$386,100

Strong local evidence — built from 8 comparable closed sales in STERLING HILL PH 1B (same property type, closed within the last 18 months, each adjusted to today's market).

Track record: across 2,978 recent closed sales we scored, the closed price landed inside the Messtimate range 57% of the time; median miss 9.7% (closed sales statewide, FL + GA feeds that permit an automated estimate). Re-scored weekly; last 2026-10-16.

Actual list price: $314,000 ($114/sq ft) — the seller's asking price is not an input to this range; compare the two.

A 12% 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 $12/mo and a CDD assessment of about $2,247/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: 49 days on market vs. a 59-day community median

  • Built in 2006 (20 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 $12/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
  • A CDD assessment of about $2,247/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 Hernando County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
  • Listed living area is 2,762 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 $4,925/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $1,575 less per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (−24%). 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 5598 Thorngrove Way and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 5598 Thorngrove Way was built in 2006 and has 2,762 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 5598 Thorngrove Way in?

5598 Thorngrove Way is in Sterling Hill Ph 1B in Spring Hill, Hernando County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.

Does 5598 Thorngrove Way have an HOA, and how much are the dues?

The listing reports HOA dues of $12 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 $2,247 per year; confirm the exact figure with the county.

Why might property taxes on 5598 Thorngrove Way differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $4,925 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $1,575 less per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (−24%). 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 5598 Thorngrove Way?

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 5598 Thorngrove Way 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.

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.

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.
