About this home

Green Cove Springs

The kitchen is built around an island with quartz countertops and seating, stainless steel appliances, and generous cabinetry that opens to the great room for connected daily living. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet for organized storage and an ensuite bathroom with double sinks, while a full bath with a combined tub and shower serves the additional bedrooms. A fully fenced backyard provides usable outdoor space, and a two-car garage adds covered parking and storage, completing a well-maintained residence with practical amenities throughout.. Included 100-Day Home Warranty with buyer activation

Cost to own

True monthly cost

What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.

Principal & interest20% down · 7.4% · 30yr$1,518
Property taxesest. at asking price, Clay County$420
HOAbilled annually$8
Estimated total, before insurance$1,946/mo
Seller’s 2025 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$6,446/yr · $537/mo

This bill runs well above the county-average estimate — usually the sign of a CDD or special assessment on this home. We confirm the exact line (and whether a bond was ever prepaid) before you offer.

  • • 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: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2023)

Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.

Solar potential: ~1,769 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 home

As 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.

Cost to own

Taxes & assessment

2025 property taxes (current owner): $6,446/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$5,000/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. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 792 current Clay listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
