Property tax · $313/mo 0.75% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Sarasota County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $533/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. Nokomis is a small community on Florida's Gulf Coast in Sarasota County, home to a modest number of residents. Homes here cost more than a typical household income across the county would comfortably support, and rents run high too. Winters are mild, with the coolest weather in January still pleasant by most standards, and summers are hot, peaking in July. Snow is almost unknown, and the year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Sarasota County, the biggest employers include Sarasota Schools, Sarasota Memorial Hospital and Option Care Enterprises. Commutes are short, and a fair number of people work from home. A four-year degree is held by a smaller group of adults than in many places.
Things to do. Curry Creek Preserve, a protected area, lies in or beside town, and Oscar Scherer State Park, another protected area, is a short drive away. Casey Key, a beach, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Siesta Key offers another beach, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art is a museum a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Nokomis’ 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.
