$435K: median house just value, with the middle half of houses between $377K and $495K [1]. Just value is the appraiser's market-value estimate, not a sale price.

1994: median year built for houses; 10% were built before 1980 and 3% in 2020 or later [1].

81%: share of houses with a homestead exemption on the roll [1].

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

You send the client's budget, timeline and what you know about the Royal Palm Beach search, and Brian gets back to you first. Before the introduction, the two brokerages put the fee in writing. The money runs between brokerages: a Florida sales associate cannot collect money in a brokerage transaction except in the employer's name [6], and a Florida licensee cannot pay a referral fee to someone who is not properly licensed [5]. Industry sources put the typical share near 25% of the commission on the referred side [12].

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

Just values for Royal Palm Beach houses run from $285K at the 10th percentile to $567K at the 90th, with the median at $435K [1]. The Royal Palm Beach median is 7% below the Palm Beach County house median of $465K [1].

The median Royal Palm Beach house was built in 1994. By build period, 10% date from before 1980, 49% from 1980 to 1999, 38% from 2000 to 2019 and 3% from 2020 or later [1]. Roll records give the median Royal Palm Beach house 1,812 square feet of living area and a median just value near $227 per square foot [1]. That is a way to compare areas, not a price for any one house.

Royal Palm Beach has 1,913 condo parcels, 14% of its house and condo total. Median condo just value is $215K, with the middle half between $144K and $248K; the median build year is 1990 [1]. Just value is not what a house sells for. When your client is ready to make an offer, ask Brian for recent closed sales.

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

Brian has written up these Royal Palm Beach communities. Pull the community's documents first: the declaration, the budget and the rules on rentals, parking and exterior changes.

Madison Green: village differences, master and sub HOAs, recreation and an independently operated golf course.
Lakeside Landing: D.R. Horton townhomes, with prices in the guide.

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 Royal Palm Beach market report page.

How do property taxes work for a Royal Palm Beach 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 Royal Palm Beach address?

Assignment is the district's call, not a real estate site's. Look the address up with the School District of Palm Beach County [4] before telling a client which school applies. For the village's own rules and services, start with the Village of Royal Palm Beach site [13].
