Georgia taxes 40% of fair market value: at Gwinnett County’s typical unincorporated millage of 27.10 mills, the median home’s bill is roughly $3,827/year ($319/month) after the standard homestead exemption — county and school exemptions vary and can lower it; inside a city, add the city millage. Georgia homeowners insurance runs well below Florida’s coastal premiums for most of the state; get a quote on the specific address, since roof age and wind exposure still move it.

- prices run 11% below the statewide median in our coverage
- homes move quickly (median 33 days listed), so well-priced homes get competition
- property tax is levied on 40% of value, so the effective rate is lower than the millage suggests, and most counties add homestead exemptions on top
What to plan for
- Georgia has a flat state income tax (about 5%, scheduled to keep stepping down), which Florida does not
