Seminole County’s typical total millage is 15.18 mills, so after the $50,000 homestead exemption the property tax is roughly $6,148/year ($512/month) for a new owner — the seller’s capped bill on the listing will be lower and is not your number. Citizens Property Insurance’s average premium in Seminole County is about $1,572/year; private-market quotes vary with roof age and wind mitigation. 49% of current Longwood listings carry an HOA, with a median of $172/month where one applies. All in, budget on the order of $3,072/month to own the median Longwood home.

Schools, taxes, and insurance: where to verify
School assignments change; check the Seminole 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 Seminole County’s typical millage of 15.18; municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county. Insurance uses Citizens’ Seminole County average of $1,572/year; a wind-mitigation inspection and roof age can move a private quote a long way in either direction.
Longwood: the case for and against
What works in Longwood’s favor
- homes move quickly (median 23 days listed), so well-priced homes get competition
- insurance is comparatively manageable here (Citizens average $1,572/year)
- no state income tax, and Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits assessment growth once you homestead
What to plan for
- prices run 14% above the statewide median in our coverage
- only about 3.7 months of supply, so choice is limited in the most popular price bands
- property taxes reset to your purchase price, so never budget off the seller’s bill
