Property tax: rate versus bill
Total 2025 millage on the most common taxing-authority code: Parkland 18.3944, Coral Springs 20.2856 (Broward County Property Appraiser, 2025 final rates). Both totals include the county, school district, South Florida Water Management District, Children's Services Council and health-care district levies; the difference is the city operating rate and debt service. Non-ad valorem charges (fire assessment, stormwater, solid waste) are billed on the same statement and are not included here.
Homestead arithmetic used above: the first $25,000 of assessed value is exempt from all levies and a second $25,000 from non-school levies (s. 196.031, Florida Statutes). Purchase price is treated as the year-one just value; Save Our Homes then caps assessed-value growth at 3% a year for as long as you keep the homestead (s. 193.155). A buyer moving from another Florida homestead may port up to $500,000 of accumulated cap. A long-time owner's bill will be lower than the figure above; a new buyer's will not.
Insurance: same average, different house
FLOIR's July 2026 stability report puts Broward County's average homeowners premium with wind at $6,136 a year and the condo unit-owner average at $1,816. Both cities share that figure in the table because the state publishes county, not city, averages. Your actual premium is set by roof age, opening protection, elevation and deductible. Statewide average for comparison: $3,757.
Association fees and what they cover
Median monthly fees from the PBP fee indexes (active listings, refreshed nightly): Parkland HOA not enough data across - listings, condo not enough data across -; Coral Springs HOA not enough data across -, condo $592 across 314.
What condo fees most often include, share of listings that state it: Parkland: n/a. Coral Springs: water (70%), common areas (67%), trash (66%), grounds (56%), sewer (56%). A fee that covers building insurance and water is not comparable to one that does not.

Rent, income and the own-versus-rent gap
| Parkland | Coral Springs | |
|---|---|---|
| Median household income (ACS 2023 5-yr) | $200,156 | $90,643 |
| Median gross rent (ACS 2023 5-yr) | $3,306 | $1,951 |
| Median closed lease, unfurnished, last 13 months (BeachesMLS) | $6,000 (n=16) | $2,095 (n=330) |
| Median owner cost with a mortgage (ACS) | $4,001 | $2,716 |
| Cost to own at today's median, single-family, as % of median income | +52.3% | +70.6% |
| Population (ACS) | 35,799 | 133,962 |
The ACS owner-cost figure reflects owners who bought years ago at lower prices and rates; the cost-to-own line at the top is what a buyer at today's median price and rate pays. The distance between them is the honest measure of how far the market has moved.
