Default Re: Tax millage rates

We were told as a rule of thumb to expect our real estate tax bill in Florida to be about 2 percent of the purchase price. So we were not shocked by the tax bill. We're also from New York where we pay high taxes as a way of life. One last point, I'm not sure but I wonder if the "non-ad valorem" portion on the tax bill refers to the bond, or if it's just for miscellaneous assessments, like the fire dept. Maybe someone else could enlighten us on what included in the "non-ad valorem" portion of the tax bill.
