How these numbers are made

Florida tax bills are public, but we calculate yours from public rates and the value you enter.
Property tax: 20.2050 mills in total for Broward County millage code 0912 (Wilton Manors), 2026 final rates: Broward County 5.6628; School Board 6.2940 (split into 3.0460 required local effort and 3.2480 discretionary and capital from the Property Appraiser's proposed-millage table) plus 0.1587 school debt; Children's Services Council 0.4500; North Broward Hospital District 1.2391; Florida Inland Navigation District 0.0270; South Florida Water Management District 0.2301; City of Wilton Manors 5.9835 operating plus 0.1598 voted debt. The Property Appraiser's 2026 final recap of flat tax-bill charges lists none for Wilton Manors; the city bills garbage, recycling and stormwater on the monthly utility bill instead.
Homestead takes $25,000 off all taxes and up to $26,411 more off non-school taxes (we apply the full $26,411). The starting value is the Property Appraiser's July 2026 median assessed value of Wilton Manors single-family homes ($487,635), which reflects the Save Our Homes cap; the average is $520,977 and the median market value is $691,160.
Water, sewer and garbage: the city's published schedule is the one effective October 1, 2025 (the 2025-26 schedule); we found no schedule for October 1, 2026, so rates may have changed. Water is $30.83 a month plus $7.13 per 1,000 gallons to 3,000, $8.64 to 6,000, $10.36 to 12,000 and $13.82 above; the city adds a 10% utility tax on water charges only, so 10% is added to the water base and per-gallon charges (not sewer). Sewer is $22.35 plus $15.44 per 1,000 gallons, billed on up to 15,000 gallons. Garbage ($39.12), recycling ($5.39) and household hazardous waste ($3.14) total $47.65 a month and the $9.00 stormwater fee is listed separately. Wilton Manors buys its water from Fort Lauderdale; the EPA map shows the city's own system, whose id is used here.
Electricity: FPL rate RS-1 effective October 2026, $10.52 a month plus 12.258¢ per kWh up to 1,000 kWh and 14.258¢ above, plus a 10% public service tax on electricity applied to the whole bill (Florida law exempts the fuel charge, so this slightly overstates it). FPL's franchise fee and gross receipts tax are not included. Typical use, 1,104 kWh a month, is EIA's 2024 Florida residential average. Gas is not modeled. Insurance: Florida OIR's Broward County average homeowners premium with wind coverage ($6,136, data as of March 31, 2026); flood insurance is separate.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
