Talk to a Specialist →Ohio has a graduated income tax with a top rate of 3.75% (over $115,300). Florida has zero. Savings are real but modest compared to NJ or NY moves. The primary financial driver for OH buyers is the combined effect of income tax elimination and the Florida Save Our Homes long-term cap.
Ohio buyers typically land at Stillwater and Cascades WGV for value-driven purchases, or Del Webb eTown for buyers who want the Del Webb brand at a lower entry than the Nocatee communities. Strong OH presence in the Jacksonville market has been growing as OH buyers who considered Myrtle Beach also evaluate the First Coast.

Florida's Save Our Homes amendment caps your assessed value growth at 3%/year after year one of primary residency. This is the most powerful long-term property tax protection in any state we cover. Buyers from Ohio — where assessed values typically track market values — will find this cap produces significant compounding tax savings over a 15–20 year retirement horizon.
