Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Florida homeowners insurance so high?

Florida has some of the highest homeowners insurance rates in the country due to hurricane risk. Annual premiums of $2,500–$4,500 are common in Jacksonville. This calculator defaults to $2,800/year, ask Keneshia for a referral to a local insurance agent for a personalized quote.

What is PMI and when do I need it?

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is required on conventional loans when you put down less than 20%. It typically costs 0.3%–1.0% of the loan amount annually. VA loans do NOT require PMI, which is a major benefit for veterans.

What's the average property tax rate in Jacksonville?

Duval County's effective property tax rate is approximately 0.83%, slightly below the FL state average. The Florida homestead exemption reduces your taxable value by $50,000 for your primary residence. Disabled veterans may qualify for additional exemptions.

Does this calculator include closing costs?

No, this calculates your monthly payment only. For closing costs, use our Florida Closing Cost Estimator. Jacksonville buyers typically pay 2%–5% of the purchase price in closing costs.
