Buyer
Beware

When buying real estate property, do not assume property taxes will remain the same. Any change in ownership may reset the assessed value of the property to full market value, which could result in higher property taxes. Please use our Tax Estimator to approximate your new property taxes.

The Property Appraiser does not send tax bills and does not set or collect taxes. Please visit the Tax Collector's website directly for additional information.

The Homestead Exemption saves property owners thousands of dollars each year. Do not jeopardize your Homestead by renting your property.

Before buying real estate property, be aware that non-ad valorem assessments may have a significant impact on your property tax bill.

  • Agricultural
  • Condominiums
  • Cooperatives
  • Government
  • Improved commercial
  • Improved industrial
  • Institutional
  • Mobile homes
  • Multi-family residential
  • Non-agricultural acreage
  • Retirement homes and misc. residential

In August a 'Notice of Proposed Property Taxes' (also called a TRIM - Truth in Millage Notice) is mailed to each property owner. Upon receipt of this Notice, property owners are urged to read it carefully, especially to review values and exemptions. Those who have questions are encouraged to call or visit the Office of the Property Appraiser. Appeals to the Value Adjustment Board must be filed by the deadline stated on the Notice.

In November the Tax Collector mails tax bills. For information about tax bills visit the Tax Collector website.
