School assignments change; check the Alachua 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 Alachua County’s typical millage of 16.56; municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county. Insurance uses Citizens’ Alachua County average of $1,020/year; a wind-mitigation inspection and roof age can move a private quote a long way in either direction.
