$643K: median house just value, with the middle half of houses between $419K and $1.0M [1]. Just value is the appraiser's market-value estimate, not a sale price.

1991: median year built for houses; 21% were built before 1980 and 10% in 2020 or later [1].
2,130 sq ft: median house living area on the roll, at about $307 of just value per square foot [1].
73%: share of houses with a homestead exemption on the roll [1].
$825,000: median close price for single-family homes in local sales records from Oct 1 to Oct 22, 2026 (n=53; Palm Beach County snapshot of Oct 23, 2026) [14].

How does a Palm Beach Gardens referral to Brian work, step by step?

Start by sending the budget, the timeline and the kind of home your client wants in Palm Beach Gardens. Brian replies to you before he speaks with the client. The fee is agreed in writing, broker to broker, before the introduction. Florida bars a sales associate from collecting money in a brokerage deal except in the employer's name [6], and bars a licensee from paying a referral fee to an unlicensed person [5]. Industry sources put the typical share near 25% of the commission on the referred side [12].

What does a Palm Beach Gardens home cost, and where is the data from?

Just values for Palm Beach Gardens houses run from $314K at the 10th percentile to $2.0M at the 90th, with the median at $643K [1]. The Palm Beach Gardens median is 38% above the Palm Beach County house median of $465K [1].

The median Palm Beach Gardens house was built in 1991. By build period, 21% date from before 1980, 44% from 1980 to 1999, 25% from 2000 to 2019 and 10% from 2020 or later [1]. The median house has 2,130 square feet of living area on the roll, and median just value works out to about $307 per square foot [1]. Use that to compare areas, not to price a house.

Condos are 14% of residential parcels in Palm Beach Gardens. The median condo just value is $265K, the middle half runs $213K to $335K, and the median condo was built in 2001 [1]. Sale prices differ from just value. Local sales records show a $825,000 median close price across 53 single-family closings from Oct 1 to Oct 22, 2026 [14], a partial month, so use just value to compare areas and ask Brian for closed sales when your client is ready to make an offer.

Is your client selling a home in Palm Beach Gardens before the move? Start with what has to happen after it sells.

Send the referral details, or pick a time for a 15-minute seller call with Brian. Two first steps for the seller: the Stress-Free Sale guide and a free home valuation.

Which Palm Beach Gardens communities and associations come up most, and what do their rules say?

Brian has written up these Palm Beach Gardens communities. Before an offer, get the association's governing documents, budget and rules. They decide what your client can do with the property.

Alton: sold out for Kolter new construction, so the guide covers resale homes, amenities and ownership costs.
Evergrene: Audubon recognition, clubhouse amenities, home types and association checks.
Mirabella: its own HOA amenities, and how they differ from Mirasol club membership.

The guides report what Brian has checked; the community's own documents are the authority on its rules. To see homes on the market, start with Brian's Palm Beach Gardens homes for sale page.

How do property taxes work for a Palm Beach Gardens buyer?

Property values come from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser [2] and bills from the Palm Beach County Tax Collector [3].

What can a buyer expect on the tax side? Four rules cover most of it.

Homestead exemption: up to $50,000, with the first $25,000 on all levies and the rest on non-school levies above $50,000 of assessed value [7].
Eligibility: ownership and permanent residence by Jan 1, with the application due March 1 [7].
Cap on homestead growth: the lesser of 3% or CPI, which is 2.7% for 2026 [8].
Cap without homestead: 10% a year except school levies, with a reset to just value after a sale [9].

Voters approved Amendment 3 on Nov 3, 2026, and it applies starting Jan 1, 2027. For non-school taxes the homestead exemption becomes $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, and the cap on non-homestead assessment increases drops from 10% to 5% [10]. A buyer who was not a Florida resident on Dec 31, 2026 gets the $25,000 school exemption plus up to $50,000 against non-school taxes at first, and the larger exemption starts in the fifth year [10]. The property appraiser can say how that lines up with your client's move date. General information, not tax advice. Flood zones are address by address, so use FEMA's Flood Map Service Center [11].

How do I find the school assignment for a Palm Beach Gardens address?

The school district, not a real estate site, decides which school serves an address. Check the address with the School District of Palm Beach County [4] before you tell a client anything. For the city's own rules and services, start with the City of Palm Beach Gardens site [13].

What nearby cities do referrals cover?

If your client's search spills past Palm Beach Gardens, the neighboring pages are Jupiter, Juno Beach and Riviera Beach. The table above puts the roll numbers side by side. The Palm Beach County referral page has the county-level view, and the national referral page has the full process. For a client coming from out of state, the Florida relocation timeline lays out the steps. More about Brian is on the about page.
