SouthWood is in Leon County, so property taxes follow the county millage plus the community's assessments.
Confirm any HOA and community assessment; a master-planned community with a golf course, lakes, and a town center carries ongoing costs, so factor them into the carrying cost. For context, the Leon County figure in our FY2025-26 millage file is a typical total of about 15.20 mills, and actual parcel totals vary by municipality and taxing district, so treat it as a planning number, not a quote.
