Florida Property Tax (2026)
Info: County-administered — property appraisers assess and handle exemption filings.
County-administered — property appraisers assess and handle exemption filings. The homestead exemption reduces taxable value by up to $50,000 on a permanent residence and qualifies the home for the Save Our Homes assessment limitation, which caps annual assessment increases and can be ported to a new Florida homestead. Additional exemptions exist for seniors, veterans, disability and surviving spouses of first responders.

Owner-occupied homes (Class III) are assessed at only 10% of appraised value, then taxed at millage rates set by counties and local taxing agencies — e.g. a $100,000 home at a 32.5-mill county rate owes about $325/year, before homestead exemptions.

County-administered: assessed value is 40% of fair market value, minus homestead exemptions (state standard $2,000; many counties offer more), times the local millage rate. DOR worked example: a $100,000 home at 25 mills owes about $950/yr. Bills are typically due Dec 20; assessments are set each Jan 1 at fair market value (OCGA 48-5-6).
