Property taxes
✓ Certified county tax rollProperty 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 8449 State Road 100
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 $5,550/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $794,900 and the first-year bill resets to about $11,225/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 15.05 mills); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr. |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | The listing states there is no HOA. |
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Clay County is $1,189/yr (606 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 $2,500–$5,500/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 2008. An original roof would be about 18 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 $1,034/month (tax $935, insurance $99). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.
Flood zone & elevation
Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.
From the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. In this zone lender-required flood insurance is generally not mandated; confirm for the parcel.
Approximate parcel elevation from USGS; confirm exact elevation with a survey.

Comparable recent sales
6 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.
Median of these 6 sales: $383,500 ($187/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.
Strong local evidence — built from 20 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles (same property type, closed within the last 18 months, each adjusted to today's market); the Clay County 2025 tax roll just value ($517,351) × the local sale-to-roll ratio of 40 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: $794,900 ($387/sq ft) — the seller's asking price is not an input to this range; compare the two.
A 49% 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 — insurance, CDD/HOA and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 8449 State Road 100, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2008 (18 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 Clay County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 2,056 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 $11,225/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $5,675 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+102%). 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 8449 State Road 100 and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 8449 State Road 100 was built in 2008 and has 2,056 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 8449 State Road 100 in?
8449 State Road 100 is in Lake Forest in Melrose, Clay County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 8449 State Road 100 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 8449 State Road 100 differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $11,225 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $5,675 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+102%). 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 8449 State Road 100 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.
