Frequently Asked Questions
What Florida property tax rate is used here?
The statewide estimate uses Florida Department of Revenue 2025 final taxes levied divided by 2025 taxable value: about 0.6563% for school taxes and 1.0449% for non-school taxes before homestead exemptions. County pages override those rates with DOR county millage data.
How does Florida homestead affect this calculator?
For a qualifying primary residence, the first $25,000 exemption reduces both school and non-school taxable value. A second $25,000 exemption reduces only non-school taxable value. The Save Our Homes cap then limits annual assessed-value growth for continuing homesteads. Use this state mortgage calculator to combine that assumption with principal, interest, insurance, and PMI, then drill into county or city pages when you have a specific address.
What Florida closing taxes are included?
The estimate includes deed documentary stamp tax on the sale price, mortgage documentary stamp tax on the loan amount, and nonrecurring intangible tax on the mortgage obligation. County files can override rates where Florida law differs, such as Miami-Dade deed documentary stamp tax.
What is a sample Florida mortgage payment on $400,000?
With 20% down at 6.5% for 30 years, principal and interest are about $2,023. Using the statewide school plus non-school planning rates (about 1.70% combined before homestead), tax escrow is roughly $567 per month on $400,000; add $100 insurance for about $2,690 PITI without PMI. Homestead exemptions and county millage can lower or raise the tax line—use Miami-Dade or other county pages for local overrides.
What Pinellas County property-tax benchmark is used?
This county page uses Florida DOR's 2025 county millage data, split into school and non-school components for the Florida homestead exemption calculation. Use this county mortgage calculator to combine that local assumption with principal, interest, insurance, and PMI so your monthly PITI estimate is closer to a full housing payment before you talk to a lender.
What property tax rate does the Pinellas County mortgage calculator use?
Pinellas County uses a local planning benchmark of about 1.85% on this page. On a $400,000 home that is roughly $7,398 per year or $616 per month in escrow before exemptions or special districts. Parcel bills can still differ—verify the levy code on the address you are buying.
What is a sample Pinellas County PITI on $400,000?
With 20% down at 6.5% for 30 years, principal and interest are about $2,023. At ~1.85% property tax, monthly escrow is about $616; with $100 insurance, estimated PITI is about $2,739 without PMI. Enter your real price and down payment above to resize the estimate, including PMI if you put less than 20% down.
Should Pinellas County buyers focus on tax or insurance?
Pinellas County's ~1.85% DOR-style planning millage sets escrow, but wind and flood insurance can dominate monthly cost—especially on the coast. Model PITI here, then get insurance quotes early before relying on tax alone. Use this county mortgage calculator to combine that local assumption with principal, interest, insurance, and PMI so your monthly PITI estimate is closer to a full housing payment before you talk to a lender.
