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.
Certified 2025 tax roll values for this parcel (Florida DOR). The roll gives values, not the bill; the current owner’s bill above is estimated from the taxable value.

What it really costs to own 529 Se 5Th Avenue
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 $3,600/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $359,900 and the first-year bill resets to about $5,375/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 17.35 mills (county-average millage, estimate)); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr. |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Bradford County is $1,033/yr (158 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. |
| Roof and age | Built in 2018. An original roof is about 8 years old: inside the 15-year window Florida carriers use, but ask for the roof's permit date before you bind coverage. |

Comparable recent sales
3 closed sales within about 3 miles 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.

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 3 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles (same property type, closed within the last 18 months, each adjusted to today's market); the Bradford County 2025 tax roll just value ($216,951) × the local sale-to-roll ratio of 19 nearby sales.
Track record: across 2,975 recent closed sales we scored, the closed price landed inside the Messtimate range 57% of the time; median miss 9.6% (closed sales statewide, FL + GA feeds that permit an automated estimate). Re-scored weekly; last 2026-10-14.
Actual list price: $359,900 ($333/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 — this listing is waterfront; water frontage is priced far off nearby averages.
- Carrying costs & concessions — insurance, CDD/HOA and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And what the live market is doing right now:
- 92 active listings competing, 21 under contract

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 529 SE 5TH Avenue, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2018: confirm the roof and HVAC install dates and whether any builder or manufacturer warranty transfers.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Bradford 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 1,080 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 $5,375/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $1,775 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+49%). 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 529 SE 5TH Avenue and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 529 SE 5TH Avenue was built in 2018 and has 1,080 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 529 SE 5TH Avenue in?
529 SE 5TH Avenue is in Seminole Ridge 7 in Melrose, Bradford County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Why might property taxes on 529 SE 5TH Avenue differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $5,375 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $1,775 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+49%). 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 529 SE 5TH Avenue in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with 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.
