Cost to own
True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be (that applies to the reference bill above too).

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Zone X — minimal flood hazard
Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Outside all hurricane evacuation zones
This location is not in a designated storm-surge evacuation zone.
Roof: Metal — 2018 per the listing
A recent roof is the single biggest lever on Florida homeowners-insurance pricing.
Septic system (public record) · Private well (public record)
County records indicate an onsite septic system — budget a septic inspection before closing (typically $300–$500) and expect pump-outs every 3–5 years.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,739 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
Ask about this homeAs of July 2026, this Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields at this property’s coordinates. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.

Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $3,532/yr
Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast the current owner’s assessment can rise — and it resets when a home sells, so a buyer’s tax bill is typically based on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill above. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
