Frequently asked questions
What is the average property tax rate in Florida?
The average effective property tax rate on owner-occupied homes in Florida is 0.78%, which ranks 27 of 50 states from highest to lowest. The US average is 0.9%, so Florida is $120 lower per $100,000 of value; the median state is 0.79%.
How much is property tax on a $300,000 home in Florida?
At the 0.78% Florida average the estimate is $2,340 a year, or $195 a month. At the US average rate the same home would be $2,700, which is $360 more than the Florida estimate.
Which Florida county has the highest property tax rate?
Among the large counties listed here, Broward County has the highest effective rate at 0.95% and Pinellas County the lowest at 0.73%. That is $3,796 against $2,914 a year on a $400,000 home.
How does Florida compare with the other big states on this site?
Of the eight largest state pages, Florida ranks 7th by effective rate. New Jersey is highest at 1.88% and California lowest at 0.7%; Florida is at 0.78%.
How is property tax calculated in Florida?
Florida has no state income tax. Homestead exemptions and the Save Our Homes cap limit increases in the taxable value of primary residences, so effective rates are lower for long-time homeowners than for recent buyers.
Why can my real bill differ from this estimate?
Even within Florida, listed county rates run from 0.73% in Pinellas County to 0.95% in Broward County, and city, school district, exemptions, assessment caps and reassessments change what you owe. The county numbers are medians, so a rate you work out from your own Florida bill will be closer.
Which Florida county is closest to the state average rate?
Orange County, at 0.78% against the 0.78% state average. Florida's state figure and this county differ by less than 0.01 percentage points.
Can I enter my own property tax rate for Florida?
Yes. Take the Florida tax you paid, divide it by the home's market value and enter the percentage in the own-rate box; it overrides the county or state selection.

What the Florida estimate does and does not cover
This page multiplies a home value by an effective rate, so the Florida answer is an estimate from averages and 10 county medians, not a bill. Assessed value, exemptions, caps, local levies, assessment ratios and appeals decide a real bill and are not modelled; the $882 county gap on a $400,000 house shows how much local detail matters. If you know your Florida effective rate, enter it to override the selection. Rates are the Tax Foundation 2026 tables built from 2024 American Community Survey data, so they are only as current as that label, and your county assessor or tax collector sets the actual bill.
