Owning vs renting — Venice

Property tax · $239/mo 0.75% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Sarasota County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $407/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Venice is a city on Florida's Gulf coast in Sarasota County, and its residents are considerably older than in most American places. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little below the county's. Winters are mild, summers are hot, and snow is rare; rain is fairly generous across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Venice are Sarasota Memorial Hospital Venice, PGT Industries, which runs both an assembly plant and a glass plant, and Publix Super Markets. Quite a few people work from home, and a four-year degree is common among adults.
Things to do. Curry Creek Preserve, a protected area, lies in or beside town, and Casey Key, a beach, and Oscar Scherer State Park are a short drive away. A longer drive leads to Siesta Key, another beach, and to the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.

Natural hazards
- HurricanesRelatively high
- LightningRelatively high
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Venice’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Sarasota County and the North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton, FL metro.
