Florida’s draw is simple: no state income tax, year-round sunshine, and no income tax on retirement income. In Safety Harbor specifically, the median home runs about $689,000, and homes sell in a median of 124 days. Once you buy and homestead, Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast your property taxes can rise.
