Sample Property Tax Report for a Palm Beach County, FL property


Property Tax

The process of appraising Palm Beach County property for tax purposes is governed by Florida law. The figures we present here are based on official data and are as accurate as we can make them, but if you believe there are inaccuracies please check on county's property search portal.

Market Values

Florida property is usually taxed based upon its current market value (sometimes called appraised or just value). This is the price it would sell for when both buyer and seller seek the best price and neither is under pressure to buy or sell. Market values in Florida are evaluated as of January 1, based upon sales of comparable properties in the previous year.

Land value $134,640
Improvement value + $83,458
Market value = $218,098

Assessed Value

Assessed value is the property's value after the application of any assessment reductions, limitations or caps, and taking into account the value placed on any agricultural land. Usually assessed value is equal to market value.

Assessed value = $154,471

Exemption and Taxable Values

Exemptions, such as senior citizen exemptions, military service exemption, combat-disabled veteran exemption and so on, are available in Palm Beach County and are deducted from assessed value giving the taxable value.
Any current exemptions officially recorded for this property are listed here (some may not apply to school district taxes).


Property Tax

Property tax payable is composed of two parts: ad valorem taxes and non-ad valorem taxes. Ad valorem taxes are calculated by multiplying the property's value by the millage rate applicable to it; non-ad valorem taxes are then added to this.
Base tax is based on assessed value and is an estimate of what an owner NOT benefiting from exemptions might pay. Current tax is based on taxable value and is what the present owner pays.
Nevertheless, actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs.

Tax Description Assessed Value Tax Rate Tax Amount
Ad valorem tax $154,471 x 19.5820‰ = $3,024.85
Non ad valorem tax = $591.00

Base tax = $3,615.85

Current tax = $3,633.78
