Paying Your Property Taxes

Once the annual Property Tax bill is mailed in November, you can pay your property taxes online.

Visit the Tax Collector for other ways to pay your Property Tax bill. A discount is available if your taxes are paid early.

If you believe your taxes are too high, you should contact the taxing authority. The Property Appraiser does not determine the amount of taxes you pay. However, the taxing authorities use the Property Appraiser's assessment value to determine the taxes they levy. Therefore, office staff can discuss the assessment value of your property.

Real estate values are established by the interaction of buyers and sellers acting independently in the marketplace. If sale prices in your area increase, the market value of your property may increase.

Inability to Pay

There is no provision in Florida Law for your value to be reduced because of personal hardship or inability to pay. While we empathize with the many difficult personal situations people experience, the law does not allow us to lower values because of those circumstances.

The Tax Collector may have a program to assist you. You may wish to contact the Tax Collector to inquire about deferring taxes, paying in quarterly installments or making partial payments.
