 ONLINE PROPERTY TAX ESTIMATOR

To use this unofficial property tax estimator, enter the estimated Property Sale Price, and whether or not you qualify for the Homestead Tax Exemption. To select the Property Appraiser's website where you live and get the information required, find them HERE

Tax inquiries should be directed to the Tax Collector in the county in which you reside. Be aware that other non-property tax fees may be a part of your total Property Tax bill. Your property tax can be calculated by using this unofficial Tax Estimator. Whether you apply and qualify for Homestead and Other Exemptions will also affect your actual Property Tax. Your actual property tax bill may include other fees, including solid waste, and special taxing levies for your area. Such inquiries regarding other fees should be directed to the  County Property Tax Collector where you live. Find them HERE.  The estimate below utilizes an average millage (tax) rate of 22.56 mills or $22.5 per thousand. To locate your actual millage rate, use the Millage Table or refer to your TRIM notice from the County Property Appraiser on your property of interest. If you are looking to purchase a home, the current tax amount may have no relationship to the taxes you will pay.

 

NEW HOMEBUYER’S TAX ESTIMATOR



 
Enter Purchase Price:     

Note: If your purchase price was from a FORECLOSURE not sold on the open market through the MLS listings, your actual purchase price is not considered a "qualified sale" and does not reflect the just (market) value used for determining your assessment. If this applies, you should enter the reasonable market price of a sale of a similar home in a similar area sold on the open market to more accurately calculate your taxes. This calculator is only an estimate based upon the millage rates of the current tax year. The county Property Appraiser does NOT set the tax rates, and cannot give any guidance as to whether the property tax rates in your area will go up or down in the next tax year.

Check all that will apply to you:

Homestead Exemption.
Widow/Widower Exemption.
Disabled Veteran Exemption (requires VA service-connected disability rating of at least 10%; unremarried surviving spouses also eligible to claim exemption).
Veteran Service-Connected Total and Permanent Disability Exemption.
Senior Disabled Combat-Wounded Veteran Exemption (must be at least age 65, have a VA disability rating of at least 10%, provide proof of combat injury; and was a Florida resident at time of entering military service). Enter percentage of your VA disability rating: %
Disability Exemption for Blind Persons.
Total & Permanent Disability Exemption - For persons NOT requiring a wheelchair for mobility.
Total & Permanent Disability Exemption - For paraplegics and persons requiring a wheelchair for mobility and the legally blind (requires total adj. household income of under $26,350).
Total & Permanent Disability Exemption - Quadriplegic Persons.

 
 

* The Estimated Tax is an estimate based upon the 2011 Millage Rate of 22.5635 mills (or 2.25635%)
    for the property you selected.

    Your actual taxes may be higher or lower. Consult with your county property appraiser for the amount.
