The numbers
Counted in October 2026 from Tracer’s Florida property data (the Florida Department of Revenue’s statewide 2025 parcel roll), with Palm Beach 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 Boca Raton address on the 2025 roll, government owners left out.
26% of them have no homestead exemption: usually a rental, a second home or an inherited house.
7% of the city’s homes: the tax bill goes to an address outside Florida (second homes and rentals alike).
8% are owned by an LLC, corporation or trust. Tracer traces them to a person where it can (how).
93% of the 59,656 with a year built on the roll were built in 2011 or earlier.
of Palm Beach County’s 102,102 absentee-owned single-family homes have a Boca Raton address.

Of the 59,656 single-family homes in Boca Raton with a year built on the roll, 55,533 (93%) were built in 2011 or earlier.

The other 42 of Boca Raton's 59,698 single-family homes have no year built on the roll, so they are in neither figure. Florida homes by year built, by county.
