Ad Valorem Taxes / Non-Ad Valorem Assessments
Ad Valorem Taxes
The Ad Valorem tax roll consists of:
- Railroad taxes
- Real estate taxes
- Tangible personal property taxes
Property Assessment
The property appraiser assesses the value of a property, and the Board of County Commissioners and other levying bodies set the millage rates. Using these figures, the property appraiser prepares the tax roll. Upon completion, the tax roll is then certified to the tax collector who prints and mails the tax notices. To ensure tax notices are received, the owner must immediately update any changes in the name and address with the property appraiser.
Tax Notices
In cases where the property owner pays via an escrow agent, the mortgage company should request the original tax notice, and the owner will receive a copy of the notice. Tax notices are mailed on or before November 1 of each year, with a due date of March 31. Taxes that are not paid will become delinquent on April 1.

Non-Ad Valorem Assessments
Non-Ad Valorem tax rolls are prepared by local governments and are certified to the tax collector's office for collection. Non-Ad Valorem assessments are primarily assessments for paving services, storm water, and solid waste collection and disposal. The collection of taxes, as well as the assessment, is in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Florida Department of Revenue and Florida Statutes.
These charges are collected beginning November 1 each year and become delinquent April 1. Discounts are given for early payment.
