What you pay for your property taxes is based on the area’s millage rate.  The property tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed value of the property by the area’s millage rate.  Every once in a while I’ll hear someone say they can’t buy in Pinecrest Florida because the taxes are too high.  In reality, the millage rate in Pinecrest is one of the lowest around. Let’s say you move to Florida and buy a $500,000 home and you apply for your Homestead Exemption.  Using the Dade County Tax Estimator, your property taxes would be in: Pinecrest $8,709 Coral Gables $9,252 Palmetto Bay $8,820 Miami Beach $9,515 Unincorporated Miami-Dade County $8,622 When you are buying a property, it is important to compare millage rates in the areas you are considering.  But, as we have always known about ... 03/15/2012
