The cost stack relocation calculators miss

Florida has no state income tax, but homeownership carries three lines that surprise arrivals. Insurance: county-by-county costs (finally falling — rates decreased in 51 of 67 counties in 2026) are on our insurance table. CDD assessments: most newer master-planned communities bill $1,300–$4,200+/yr on the tax bill on top of HOA — how that works, with verified per-village tables. Property taxes: your first full-year bill is set by YOUR purchase price, not the previous owner’s capped assessment — budget from the millage, not from what the seller was paying. Run the whole stack in the true-cost calculator.

Timing your arrival

The recorded 12 months were the most buyer-leaning stretch in years — prices fell in 13 of Florida’s 14 largest counties while volume held. What that means for a relocator: negotiating room exists, but so does the temptation to overpay for move-in-ready convenience under time pressure. The medians above are the anchor; the full statewide picture is on the buyer data page.
