How much of the $2743 is actually taxes? Do you know the average amount of a bond on a new home? I've heard $12,500 for villas and $20,000 and up for homes. I'm interested in either a 3BR CYV such as a Bonita or Siesta or a cottage like a Hammock in the $160-175K range. Does anyone know what the bond on a cottage would be?
For comparison, I have an average 3BR 2BA home in the suburbs of Baltimore that's appraised for taxes at $277K and my yearly taxes are $3200 total. HOA is only $30 a month, but the only benefit is garbage pickup.
