The taxes are way lower in FL than any northern blue state, even before you factor in zero income tax.
Our MI bill for 3,400sf with 1 acre, lake house 2,300sf, and the cabin 1900sf, all have lower taxes than any of our 5 homes in TV.
I don’t count bond as anything other than something we sell with the house.
