How to use it
A two-minute guide.
The Home Value field is pre-filled with St. Petersburg's median home value of $380,000. Override with your actual home's market value for a specific estimate — your tax bill scales linearly with home value.
The rate is pre-filled with Pinellas County's effective rate of 0.67% — the county-level average for owner-occupied homes, which is more precise than Florida's statewide average of 0.91%. Individual school districts and special taxing zones within St. Petersburg still shift the exact figure — if you know the rate from your latest tax bill, override it for the most precise estimate.
You'll see your estimated annual property tax, the monthly amount (which is typically escrowed with your mortgage payment), and a comparison to other states.
How it works
The math behind the result.
How St. Petersburg's tax bill works out. Homes in St. Petersburg are assessed and billed through Pinellas County. The effective rate there averages about 0.67% of market value — below Florida's statewide average of 0.91%. On St. Petersburg's median home value of $380,000, that's approximately $2,546/year, or $212/month when escrowed with your mortgage.
How assessment works in Florida. The county property appraiser values homes each January 1. The Save Our Homes cap limits assessed-value growth on a homestead to 3% per year regardless of market gains.
Exemptions worth claiming. Florida's homestead exemption removes up to $50,000 from assessed value on a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap is portable when you move within Florida. Exemptions are the most common reason two identical St. Petersburg homes pay different tax bills — make sure yours are on file with Pinellas County.
What property tax actually pays for. In St. Petersburg — like the rest of Florida — property tax funds local schools, public safety (police, fire), road maintenance, parks, libraries, and county government. Most of your bill stays in your county and school district.
Comparing to other states. Effective rates vary enormously across the US — from about 0.3% in Hawaii to nearly 2.5% in New Jersey. St. Petersburg's 0.67% puts it among the lowest in the US.
