FAQ — Miami-Dade County Mortgage

What is the property tax rate in Miami-Dade County?
The effective property tax rate in Miami-Dade County is approximately 0.96%. This means a home worth $560,000 would have an estimated annual tax bill of about $5,376.
What is the 2026 FHA loan limit in Miami-Dade County?

What is the conforming loan limit in Miami-Dade County?

Does my Florida mortgage payment include hurricane or flood insurance?
Standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage — that requires a separate flood insurance policy through FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private carrier. Wind insurance is often bundled with standard policies, but in high-risk coastal zones, a separate windstorm policy may be required. Both can add hundreds of dollars to your monthly housing cost.
What is Florida's Save Our Homes assessment cap?
Florida's Save Our Homes (SOH) amendment caps annual increases in the assessed value of a homestead property at 3% or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. This protects long-term homeowners from rapid property tax increases but means buyers of existing homes may see a "recapture" — their assessed value will reset closer to market value at purchase.
What does PITI mean and why does it matter in Miami-Dade County?
PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance — the four components of a full monthly mortgage payment. Lenders qualify you based on your total PITI payment, not just principal and interest. In Miami-Dade County, property taxes and insurance can add hundreds of dollars per month to your P&I payment, so it's essential to use a calculator that includes all four components.
What credit score do I need to buy a home in Miami-Dade County?
Most conventional lenders require a minimum 620 credit score, though the best rates go to borrowers with 740+. FHA loans allow scores as low as 580 with 3.5% down, or 500–579 with 10% down. VA loans have no official minimum but most lenders want 580–620. Your credit score affects both loan eligibility and the interest rate you receive — a difference of 50–100 points can change your rate by 0.25–0.75%.
