How this is calculated

  • Property tax = taxable value × total millage ÷ 1,000. One mill is $1 per $1,000 of taxable value.
  • Millage rates are 2025 adopted rates from the Florida Department of Revenue's Maximum Millage Compliance reports. Each row lists its source.
  • School board rates use a statewide estimate (required local effort, discretionary and capital outlay levies) and are marked "estimate". Check them against your district's TRIM notice.
  • Taxable value defaults to 85% of capital investment. Land and building value grows 2% a year. Equipment depreciates straight-line over 7 years, down to 20% of its original value.
  • Commercial property gets no Save Our Homes cap, but non-homestead increases are capped at 10% a year. Equipment may receive the $25,000 tangible personal property exemption, which isn't counted here.
  • Abatements model local economic development exemptions (s. 196.1995, F.S.), which apply to county and city levies and never to school levies.
  • Counties split between water management districts use the primary district. City rows cover city operating millage only. Municipal service taxing units (MSTUs) and non-ad valorem assessments are not included.

These figures are planning estimates, not tax advice. Actual taxes depend on the property appraiser's assessment and the rates adopted each year.
