School assignments change; check the Volusia 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 Volusia County’s typical millage of 19.21; municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county. Insurance uses Citizens’ Volusia County average of $1,807/year; a wind-mitigation inspection and roof age can move a private quote a long way in either direction.
