What is the VA loan limit in Florida?

Short answer

With full entitlement, VA generally does not impose a county loan limit; lender approval and appraised value still control. With partial entitlement, Florida's 2026 one-unit limit is $832,750 in most counties and $990,150 in Monroe County.

Plain-English explanation

What this actually means.

Full-entitlement borrowers are not capped by a VA county loan limit, but their income, credit, residual income, assets, lender guidelines and the appraised value still limit the transaction. For partial-entitlement calculations in 2026, the one-unit FHFA limit is $832,750 in Florida counties other than Monroe and $990,150 in Monroe County. Use the current COE and county limit when calculating any entitlement-related down payment.

Practical example

What this looks like on a real file.

A Florida veteran with full entitlement and strong income writes a $750,000 zero-down VA offer in Orange County. No VA county limit caps the loan. The bigger constraints are residual income, monthly affordability with Florida insurance and taxes, and the property passing VA MPRs.
What can change the answer?

Where this can move.

Florida insurance premiums, property tax millage, county property-appraiser exemptions for disabled veterans, HOA dues, CDD fees, and condo approval status can change the answer.
