Common Questions About Plantation Woods
Questions buyers actually ask us, answered straight.
Is Plantation Woods a new construction neighborhood?
Yes, and more than most neighborhoods on this site. Nearly everything currently for sale in Plantation Woods was built within the last few years, with a good share of it brand new construction still coming to market.
That has real advantages: modern building codes, young roofs, and generally better insurance outcomes than older stock. Ask whether a wind mitigation report exists, because on a new home it usually does and it is worth money.
Why do the property taxes on the listing look so low?
This is the question that catches new construction buyers out. The tax figure shown on a brand new home often reflects the land before the house was built, so your bill after the first full assessment can be considerably higher than what you see on the listing.
Ask us to estimate what the taxes will actually look like for you rather than working from the number on the sheet. And file for homestead exemption with the Santa Rosa County Property Appraiser by March 1.
What should I ask about HOA and CDD fees?
Ask three things: whether there is an HOA and what the dues cover, whether there is a community development district assessment on top of your property taxes, and what the builder warranty covers and for how long.
A CDD assessment is not a property tax and it does not appear where buyers expect it to. It can change your monthly number meaningfully, so find out before you are emotionally committed to a floor plan.
How big are the lots?
Lots here are typical for a newer subdivision, generally around a quarter acre. Homes sit closer together than they do on the acreage properties elsewhere around Milton.
That is the trade you are making for a new house with a new roof and a warranty. Worth walking the actual lot before you commit, since spacing varies within the neighborhood.
