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.
Hurricane evacuation zone C
Zone C evacuates after zones A, B in an approaching storm.
Roof: material not specified — year not disclosed (home built 1993)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Sewer & public water · JEA
County records show this parcel on central sewer served by JEA — no septic system to inspect or maintain.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,697 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 August 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.

Not from the MLS. Places from FWC, FDEP, the water districts, the counties and the cities; stores from state food permits and each chain’s store list. Distances are straight-line from this home unless a drive time is shown. Fees, hours and access change, so check the agency’s page before you go.
Sun & Light
North-facing backyard — the shade-and-soft-light lot
The listing reports the home facing south, which puts the backyard and pool on the north side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:31 AM, sunset 6:50 PM.
- A pool back here gets the least direct sun: cooler water and less glare — a real preference split, so decide which camp you are in before you price it.
- The rear stays out of direct sun for most of the day — the coolest lanai orientation in a Florida summer, and the softest, most even light all day.
- Winter afternoons on the lanai run dim earlier than any other orientation.
Orientation per the MLS listing; sun paths are seasonal geometry for Northeast Florida, not a shade study — trees, screening, and neighboring structures change the picture on any specific lot.
Cost to own
Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $1,205/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$7,400/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 3,305 current Duval listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
