MIA home property taxes?

how are the prices of home taxes in MIA? in CT each town can differ significantly by thousands. Curious about moving to MIA. I have been saving up for a while with rent free home. I have a good job here now but looking for a change.

Everything in Miami is expensive. The cost of living is insane. Events, grocieries, going out, taxes, insurance (Mainly due to floods and hurricanes) is all insane!

I think i've seen you one time...... I live in New Haven by the light house. 6k for Tax? Wow what is the size of the property you are looking at? New Haven is generally lower on property taxes compared to like West Haven

Like others have said... Cost of living in the 305 is quite high. Broward county (Hollywood, Ft. Lauderdale, Sunrise, Pompano beach, etc) are a bit better as far as HOI, INS, & Taxes, but not by much.

HOI is much lower for newer homes (1-5 years) and has come down in the last two years, but still expect to pay a couple of grand (plus $300 for Flood insurance in most areas). My HOI went from $7600 in 2006 to $1300 in 2007 and $1450 for 08. I reduced some coverages, but as you can see, it went down to a reasonable amount. My home is 4 yrs old, monitored alarm system, hurricane shutters, and no pool.

A house valued at $500K in most areas of Miami will run you $9,500 in property taxes annually if you have Homestead exemption and aren't on a ocean front/ access lot. You'd have to be closer to a house valued at $200-250K to pay $6K in taxes. WHich you can actually find nowadays with all of the foreclosures we've been having down here.

Keep in mind though, banks are being EXTREMELY careful at loaning money and are asking for as much as 40% down in areas with higher default rates than average (I know this for a fact as we lost a buyer to our house recently because of this fact - BUYER had excellent credit, 20% down, etc. and two banks told him they would only finance 60% of appraised value).

Your best bet, (if you're set on moving to Miami) is to rent. There are great deals going on right now on nice homes in good areas.

thanks a lot for this info. thats some crazy insurance rates you had back in 06. i expected the HOI to be higher then what it is up here and the taxes could be right about the same but like you said depends on location and and county. maybe it would be smart to look outside of miami and build up some equity.
i have already been pre approved up here for much more then i would want to spend, i dont know if that influence any banks down there.

and the whole trying to find a job thing in another state worries me.
