#1...you will find the most expensive thing in TV is dental care. Very few quality dentists take insurance, so have most of your expensive dental work done before your leave (especially if you have dental insurance) like crowns, bridges, root canals, implants, and even fillings.

If you are moving into Dunedin, you are probably buying a resale, so check with the owner for those expenses.

#2 Water for irrigation is the most expensive item depending on your yard size and type of grass (and how green you want things in the summer). The other things are covered in the other responses.
