The real monthly cost of owning in Plantation
Take the median $537,000 home with 20% down at today’s 6.71% 30-year rate: principal and interest run about $2,775/month. Broward County’s typical total millage is 19.84 mills, so after the $50,000 homestead exemption the property tax is roughly $9,663/year ($805/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 Broward County is about $1,561/year; private-market quotes vary with roof age and wind mitigation. 96% of current Plantation listings carry an HOA, with a median of $520/month where one applies. All in, budget on the order of $4,230/month to own the median Plantation home including a typical HOA.
