Hillsborough County’s typical total millage is 15.73 mills, so after the $50,000 homestead exemption the property tax is roughly $5,096/year ($425/month) for a new owner — the seller’s capped bill on the listing will be lower and is not your number.

Schools, taxes, and insurance: where to verify
School assignments change; check the Hillsborough County school grades page for the district’s current grades, and confirm zoning for a specific address directly with the district. Property tax figures on this page use Hillsborough County’s typical millage of 15.73; municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county. Insurance uses Citizens’ Hillsborough County average of $1,816/year; a wind-mitigation inspection and roof age can move a private quote a long way in either direction.
