Gaylen Oaks is in Escambia County, so property taxes follow the county millage plus any community HOA.
Confirm the HOA and whether any CDD applies; Pensacola-area DR Horton communities are usually HOA-only, which keeps the all-in cost low. For context, the Escambia County figure in our FY2025-26 millage file is a typical total of about 17.54 mills, and actual parcel totals vary by municipality and taxing district, so treat it as a planning number, not a quote.
