A walkable town with Scottish heritage, a busy Main Street, Blue Jays spring training and Honeymoon and Caladesi islands just offshore. Older cottages and waterfront homes command a premium.

Licensing and permits
Solar installs in Florida need a licensed solar, electrical or building contractor licensed through Florida's Construction Industry Licensing Board, and permits, plus utility interconnection.
Tips before you hire
- Florida exempts residential solar from sales tax and from added property-tax assessment. Confirm current rules with your tax advisor.
- Ask how the system handles roof replacement, since panels may need to come off.
- Get the utility's net-metering terms in writing.
