When you look at the taxes of a RESALE home they are based on what that owner paid for it. Our taxes doubled because the original owner was protected by the "Florida Save Our Homes" CAP over the previous 9 years based on what HE paid for it. We start that over based on our price. Our agent said the taxes were $900 when we asked, which was true, but they turned out to be $1800 when we closed based on OUR purchase price not the first/previous owner. Even at 2X 1 year was equal to 1 1/2 months up north so no complaints.
