Sound Side Apartments Ad Valorem Tax Analysis
Ad Valorem Tax Analysis
In Florida, real estate taxes are levied on all real property. Real property means land, buildings, fixtures,
and all other improvements to land. The terms land, real estate, realty and real property may be used
interchangeably. Real property includes all other permanent improvements on the land and is broadly
classified based on land use.
By July 1 of each year, the property appraiser must report the just value of all real property in the county
as of January 1. Factors that are considered in determining just value are present cash value, use, location,
quantity or size, cost, replacement value of improvements, condition, income from property and net
proceeds if the property is sold. The tax due for each unit is calculated by dividing the assessed value by
1, 000, then multiplying the taxable value by the tax rate ( millage) levied by the taxing authority within
that county. The proposed tax bill is mailed to the taxpayer usually in August or September. Any timely
appeal of the tax assessment shall be made against this notice. The actual tax bill is mailed to the
taxpayer, usually by November 1. The payment must be made to the tax collector by April 1 of the
following year. There are discounts for early payment and penalties for delinquency. Taxable value is the
assessed value of property minus the amount of any applicable exemption provided under s. 3 or s. 6,
Article VII of the State Constitution and Chapter 196. The Tax Rate ( Millage) is set by the taxing
authority for the governmental unit within which the property is located. The Florida Constitution directly
authorized counties, school districts, and municipalities to levy ad valorem taxes. It also provides that
special districts may be created and authorized by law to levy ad valorem taxes. The total tax rate is a
combination of all taxing authority' s tax rate ( millage) having jurisdiction over property.
