Schools, taxes, and insurance: where to verify
School assignments change; check the Pinellas 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 Pinellas County’s typical millage of 19.39; municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county. Insurance uses Citizens’ Pinellas County average of $1,911/year; a wind-mitigation inspection and roof age can move a private quote a long way in either direction.
