The Altamonte Springs numbers

Median property taxes paid	about $8,888 per year ($888 per month)
Effective tax rate (taxes / value)	about 8.88%

Taxes paid reflect what current owners actually pay, including exemptions and long-held assessments. A new purchase can be reassessed at the sale price, so budget off the rate, not the median bill.
