No Community Development District fee is the main cost item to check here. The developer markets Silverleaf as having no Community Development District fee, with amenities paid through the homeowners association instead. Read the HOA paperwork and the St. Johns County tax bill for the specific home. County tax bills go out around November 1, gross tax is due March 31, and early payment can earn up to a 4% discount.

Check the exact address, not just the Silverleaf name. Use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for the federal flood-zone lookup. Then use the St. Johns County Flood Zone Viewer and county iMap layers for flood zone, storm-surge zone, evacuation route, coastal construction line, and wind-borne-debris context. Treat the answer as an address-specific insurance and loan question.

Ask whether there is a wind-mitigation inspection and whether the state OIR-B1-1802 form is complete. In Northeast Florida, that form lists hurricane-resistant features that can earn credits on the windstorm part of the premium. Review the wind quote with the flood-zone result. Also review the Florida Realtors/Florida Bar contract version you sign, because inspection and exit rights differ.

For a Florida primary residence, the homestead exemption can reduce assessed value by up to $50,000. The application goes to the county property appraiser by March 1. After it is granted, Save Our Homes caps annual assessed-value increases at 3% or the Consumer Price Index change, whichever is less. Ask a CPA for tax advice on your situation.

Use the St. Johns County Property Appraiser search to see what the county has on file for a home. That includes assessed value, tax history, ownership, exemptions, and maps for the lot. Then compare it with the St. Johns County Tax Collector bill, where the current real-estate tax bill and any assessment lines tied to that property appear.
