Sarasota County tax bill arrived

Just received tax bill for townhouse with garage, 1419 sq. feet > $1377.14

Biggest items are:
- Sarasota County = $295.84
- County hospital = $103.39
- Public schools = $497.74
- Local board = $356.96
The rest is in dollars or tens of dollars. Bill would be quite less if we were residents there.

These yearly costs look cheap to me, as they dont account for costs of police, fire stations, roads, etc.

County debt: $16.22
County mosquito: $7.59
SWFWMD-Dist: $34.48

How much is the value of the town house? Is it waterfront?

Real value is about 180k, tax value is 109k. 3 bdr, 3bath, garage
Obviously it is not waterfront but 15-20 minutes drive towards I-75.
Why is hospital in tax bill? It was always in, that is major hospital in Sarasota, I guess subsidized by taxes.

My folks have a condo in Pinellas county, tax value 94k, tax $2000. So the property tax is not cheap everywhere in Florida...

These are the same taxes I pay in Sarasota (+/- $50 USD) for a 2br 2bath, 3-level townhouse with garage worth 165K — sounds like you're doing well!

Wow, that is good. My Manatee County tax bill is $3100 for a 2 br 2 bath condo. Although my assessed value keeps going up and the tax bill keeps going down each year. I wonder why the huge difference?
