        "text": "Property taxes in South Florida are assessed by individual counties (e.g., Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) and are based on the assessed value of your property, not necessarily the market value. Several factors affect the amount, including the property's size, location, improvements, and any applicable exemptions like homestead exemptions for primary residences. Understanding these calculations is a key preparation step for prospective homeowners. It's advisable to factor estimated property taxes into your monthly housing budget, as they can significantly impact overall homeownership costs.",
