Estimate: asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × St. Johns County rate (13.47 mills, adopted 2025 millage). 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.

(+110%)

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.

What it really costs to own 26 Maria Place

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 $41,075/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $6,445,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $86,125/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 13.47 mills); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr.
HOA duesThe listing states there is no HOA.
Home and flood insuranceThe average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Saint Johns County is $1,378/yr (977 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 $29,500–$61,000/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 1970. An original roof would be about 56 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 $7,292/month (tax $7,177, insurance $115). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.

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.

CDD assessment
Not reported

The MLS listing does not report a CDD amount. Many Florida communities have one; it shows on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector or the listing agent.

Insurance (illustrative range)
$30k–$61k/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.

Ground elevation

Approximate parcel elevation from USGS; confirm exact elevation with a survey.

Windstorm / insurance
Obtain a quote

St. Johns 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.

Pusser's in Sawgrass Village to become Craig's Beach House after a renovation

Pusser's Bar and Grille at 816 A1A North in Sawgrass Village will be renamed Craig's Beach House and renovated with an expanded menu, new cocktails and audiovisual upgrades. Restaurateur Craig Miller, a former chairman and CEO of Ruth's Chris Steak House, is leading the project with owner Gary Rogalski, and the restaurant is expected to stay open during construction. No completion date has been announced.

Why it matters: Reinvestment in Sawgrass Village dining may help keep the center competitive, which supports the walkable amenity case for nearby Ponte Vedra Beach homes.

Ponte Vedra Inn & Club files plans for a winding water slide at its oceanfront Surf Club

Plans filed with St. Johns County describe a main slide of nearly 95 feet from a covered platform, plus a smaller second slide, in the Surf Club pool area. The permit lists work valued near $430,000. The resort expects to unveil its enhancements in early 2027, and the county has not been reported to have approved the permit.

Why it matters: Continued amenity investment at major resort properties may support the broader Ponte Vedra market, though this is a single permit filing and timing could shift.

St. Johns County studies a beach trolley for South Ponte Vedra and Vilano

St. Johns County is evaluating a trolley that would stop at county owned sites and public beach access points. More public access affects the local cost share for an Army Corps beach restoration partnership. Nothing is decided, and a public meeting is set for Oct. 7 at the GTM Reserve.

Why it matters: Public access decisions tied to restoration funding could shape future beach maintenance along South Ponte Vedra.

A newly built six bedroom Ponte Vedra Beach home closes for more than 11.68 million dollars

A Ponte Vedra Beach home built in 2026 and marketed in a modern French country style sold for more than 11.68 million dollars, according to property records and listings reviewed by the Jacksonville Daily Record. The six bedroom house sits a short distance from the ocean and includes a three car garage.

Why it matters: An eight figure closing on new construction may reinforce the ceiling for oceanside Ponte Vedra Beach pricing, though single trophy sales rarely move the broader median.

Items worth confirming for 26 MARIA Place, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1970 (56 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 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 St. Johns County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
  • Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
  • Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
  • Listed living area is 5,200 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 $86,125/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $45,050 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+110%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
  • Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Answered before you ask

Frequently asked questions

How big is 26 MARIA Place and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 26 MARIA Place was built in 1970 and has 5,200 sq ft of living area, 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 26 MARIA Place in?

26 MARIA Place is in Old Ponte Vedra in Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Johns County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.

Does 26 MARIA Place 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 26 MARIA Place differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $86,125 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $45,050 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+110%). 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 26 MARIA Place 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.

Estimates, methodology & disclaimers

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.

Automated content. Some summaries, distances, and estimates on this page are generated automatically from public and proprietary data sources and may contain errors or omissions. We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any information. Verify anything important independently.

No warranty; measurements & photos. No guarantee, warranty, or representation of any kind is made regarding the completeness or accuracy of any information, descriptions, or measurements on this page — including square-footage measurements and property condition — all of which should be independently verified through appropriate means, including in-person inspection and public records. Photographs may be virtually staged or digitally enhanced and may not reflect actual property conditions.
