When you’re comparing homes, it’s easy to look at the current tax bill and think the lower number is the “better deal.” But here’s the truth: those numbers don’t automatically apply to you.
Some properties have a homestead exemption, some don’t, and once you purchase, your taxes reset.
That’s why I always guide buyers with a simple rule of thumb: Expect roughly 1.25% of the purchase price as a general estimate.
It’s not exact, but it gives you a realistic picture of what to budget for, without relying on someone else’s tax history.
Looking for clarity in your home search? I’m here to make the process simple and transparent every step of the way.
