Florida Income Tax Rate
On a $350,000 household income, that gap alone works out to roughly$20,959 a year in New York state income tax that Florida simply doesn't charge. Property tax rates matter too — Nassau runs around 1.89%, compared to roughly 0.89% in Palm Beach County.Run your own numbers with the Tax Savings Calculator.
What New York Buyers Love About Palm Beach County
- • No state or city income tax, on top of what you already pay in NY/NYC
- • Space — a dollar goes meaningfully further on square footage and lot size
- • Year-round outdoor living instead of four months of it
What's Genuinely Different
- • Car-dependent — most of Palm Beach County isn't built for a car-free lifestyle like Manhattan
- • Slower pace and a more seasonal social calendar (snowbird season runs roughly November–April)
- • Insurance costs are a new line item most NY buyers haven't budgeted for before

The Logistics
Most New York relocations run 60–120 days from first consultation to closing. For long-distance movers, the two practical decisions worth settling early are whether to drive or ship your vehicles, and whether your current home sale needs to close simultaneously with your Florida purchase or can be sequenced. Florida closings can be handled remotely — many of our New York clients complete the entire process, including closing, without a final in-person trip.
