Learn moreA low, and falling, city millage rate
Doral's city millage rate for fiscal year 2025-26 was set at 1.766 mills -- described as one of the lowest in Miami-Dade County -- and the City Council approved a further rollback to 1.5994 mills for fiscal year 2026-27, the second consecutive reduction. That city-level rate is dramatically lower than Coral Gables' 5.559 mills (see that city's taxes-insurance topic), though Miami-Dade County and school-district millage layer on top identically for both cities, and a lower city rate doesn't automatically mean a lower total bill if assessed values or other taxing-authority rates rise.
Homestead exemption and Save Our Homes cap apply statewide
Florida's 2026 homestead exemption totals $51,411 for a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits annual assessed-value growth to 2.7% for 2026 once homesteaded -- the same statewide rules that apply in Coral Gables and every other Florida city, reused here for consistency with this site's Florida-wide tax research.
Homeowners insurance runs 60% above the Florida average
Average homeowners insurance in Doral runs about $4,576 a year, roughly 60% higher than Florida's statewide average premium of $2,857 a year, per Clovered's 2025 analysis -- driven by South Florida's hurricane risk and high property values. Florida-wide flood insurance separately runs roughly $760-$938 a year on average via the federal NFIP program, though actual cost depends heavily on a specific property's flood-zone designation.
