The numbers
Counted in October 2026 from Tracer’s Florida property data (the Florida Department of Revenue’s statewide 2025 parcel roll), with Brevard picked as the county. Each count names the Request Data filters behind it. “Absentee” means no homestead exemption, so second homes and recent buyers who haven’t filed are in it too.
single-family homes with a Palm Bay address on the 2025 roll, government owners left out.
27% of them have no homestead exemption: usually a rental, a second home or an inherited house.
8% of the city’s homes: the tax bill goes to an address outside Florida (second homes and rentals alike).
9% are owned by an LLC, corporation or trust. Tracer traces them to a person where it can (how).
75% of the 51,224 with a year built on the roll were built in 2011 or earlier.
of Brevard County’s 53,356 absentee-owned single-family homes have a Palm Bay address.
Counted by the city on the property's tax-roll address (the postal city), so it includes unincorporated areas with a Palm Bay address. It is not the city limits.
Of the 51,224 single-family homes in Palm Bay with a year built on the roll, 38,514 (75%) were built in 2011 or earlier. Statewide it is 81% of Florida's 5,990,343 single-family homes with a year built, so Palm Bay's share is lower than Florida's; Brevard County's is 84%. The other 68 of Palm Bay's 51,292 single-family homes have no year built on the roll, so they are in neither figure. Florida homes by year built, by county.
Against the county
More than a tenth of Brevard County's 211,335 single-family homes have a Palm Bay address (24%), and so do 26% of its 53,356 absentee-owned ones: a bigger slice of the county's absentee-owned homes than of its homes.
