Duval County Property Search: PA Records, Parcel Map & JAXGIS
The Duval County property appraiser search lets you locate real estate by RE number, owner name or street address and then review ownership, assessed values, exemptions, legal description, sales information and links to mapping and tax records.
For map-based research, the City of Jacksonville also operates JAXGIS and the Duval Property Map. These tools are especially useful when you need parcel location, nearby-property context, street relationships or GIS data that is not obvious from the standard property card.
This page focuses specifically on property search, PA records, parcel maps and GIS. For a broader office-and-exemption overview, see the separate Duval County Property Appraiser 2026 guide.
How to Search Duval County Property Records in 2026
Duval County’s official Real Estate Property Search covers parcels throughout Duval County, including Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Baldwin.
Open the official Property Appraiser search
Start with the City of Jacksonville’s Property Appraiser database rather than a copied third-party parcel page.
Open Duval Property SearchUse the RE number when you already have it
The official search tutorial identifies the Real Estate number as the strongest basic-search method. Enter the complete number, including the final four digits.
Use owner search carefully
You can search a last name alone or combine last and first name. The official tutorial recommends avoiding punctuation. A wildcard search can help when the exact owner format is uncertain.
Use fewer address fields first
Duval’s search tutorial notes that less address information can produce better results because the search must match the tax-roll format. Start with the street number and main street name before adding city, ZIP or direction.
Verify the parcel before using the data
Check the RE number, owner, site address and legal description before relying on values, sales, exemptions or map links.
After opening the official Property Search
- Leave the search type at the most restrictive match option unless you need broader results.
- Use the complete RE number when available.
- For an address, begin with the street number and main street name.
- Open the matching parcel result.
- Confirm the RE number and site address before continuing to GIS or tax records.
| What You Know | Best Search Method | Verify Before Using Result |
|---|---|---|
| RE number | Exact RE number | Owner and property address |
| Owner name | Last name or last + first name | Do not assume the first similar name is correct |
| Street address | Street number + main street name | RE number, unit and municipality |
| Only map location | JAXGIS Duval Property Map | Open the corresponding PA property record |
What You Can Find on a Duval County PA Property Record
A Duval property record is more than an owner lookup. The record can connect appraisal information, sales history, Property Record Cards, mapping and tax-related resources through one RE number.
Core Parcel Information
- RE number / parcel identifier
- Owner name shown on the tax roll
- Mailing and site address
- Property-use information
- Legal description
- Acreage or lot-related data
Assessment & History
- Market or just value
- Assessed value
- Applicable exemptions
- Taxable value
- Sales history
- Building and property characteristics
Market / Just Value
The Property Appraiser’s estimate of market value before assessment limitations and exemptions are applied.
Assessed Value
The value after applicable assessment limitations such as Save Our Homes are considered.
Taxable Value
The assessed value after applicable exemptions are deducted for a taxing authority.
Property Record Card and TRIM records
Duval’s Property Appraiser makes Property Record Cards available through individual property records. During the TRIM cycle, owners appealing real-estate value can also access the applicable TRIM Property Record Card online rather than waiting for the VAB to mail it.
Duval County Property Map & JAXGIS Search
The City of Jacksonville’s JAXGIS system provides the geographic side of Duval property research. Use it after identifying the correct RE number in the Property Appraiser database.
Search the Duval Property Map By
- Parcel / RE number
- Property address
- Street
- Property owner
- City
- ZIP code
Useful GIS Tasks
- Confirm parcel location
- See neighboring parcels
- View street relationships
- Inspect available public GIS layers
- Measure approximate areas or distances
- Export map-search results where supported
After opening JAXGIS
- Select the Duval Property map application.
- Search by RE number when you already confirmed it in the Property Appraiser database.
- Otherwise search by address, owner or street.
- Open the correct parcel and review only the layers relevant to your question.
- Return to the PA property record before relying on appraisal values.
JAXGIS can return broad result sets
The Duval Property Map limits search results, so a broad owner, street or area search can require narrower criteria. RE number is usually the most efficient bridge between the appraisal record and the map.
Advanced Duval County Property Search: Sales, Building & Exemption Filters
Researchers who need more than one parcel can use Duval’s Advanced Search criteria to narrow the tax roll rather than searching one owner or address at a time.
Sales Research
Use sale-date and related transaction filters to narrow properties before reviewing individual sale records.
Building Research
Advanced criteria can include property characteristics such as year built and other record fields available through the tax-roll database.
Homestead Filter
The official tutorial explains that advanced search can limit results to properties with or without homestead exemption.
After opening the search tutorial
- Read the Basic Search section first if you need only one parcel.
- Move to Advanced Search when researching sales or multiple properties.
- Choose only the fields that narrow your research question.
- Use the most restrictive matching option unless broader matching is intentional.
- Verify individual records before drawing conclusions from exported data.
Duval County Tax Roll, GIS & Sales Data Downloads
Duval is useful for researchers because the Property Appraiser publishes more than the interactive parcel search. Its Data Offerings page provides tax-roll files, GIS downloads and sales datasets.
Real Estate Tax Roll
The office publishes certified and uncertified real-estate tax-roll data in downloadable formats for broader analysis.
GIS Downloads
Monthly GIS datasets are published separately from the interactive JAXGIS map for users who work with mapping software.
Sales Files
Sales data is also available by month, allowing researchers to work with larger datasets instead of opening individual property records.
After opening this link
- Choose Real Estate, Tangible, GIS or Sales data.
- Check whether the file is certified, preliminary or uncertified.
- Open the corresponding file-layout documentation before importing raw data.
- Use the most current month only when your research requires current records.
- Keep the data date with any analysis or spreadsheet you create.
Using Duval’s Property Appraiser Sales Tool
Duval also maintains an Internet Sales Tool for viewing selected sales on a GIS map. The Property Appraiser explains that qualified sales are transactions considered representative of market activity under Florida Department of Revenue guidelines.
Qualified Sale
A transaction the Property Appraiser considers appropriate for market analysis under applicable qualification rules.
Disqualified Sale
Transactions such as certain family transfers, distressed situations or other non-arm’s-length circumstances may not be treated as representative market sales.
After opening this link
- Review the explanation of qualified and disqualified sales.
- Open the linked GIS sales tool.
- Search the area around the subject property.
- Compare property characteristics instead of distance alone.
- Return to the parcel record for full property details.
What Is Current for Duval County Property Records in 2026?
The 2026 Preliminary Tax Roll was approved July 24, 2026. The Property Appraiser also publishes monthly uncertified roll, GIS and sales datasets while the current roll continues through the annual certification process.
Checking Homestead & Save Our Homes on a Duval Property Record
A property search can show exemption and assessment information, but eligibility and filing are handled separately by the Property Appraiser’s Customer Service/Exemptions Division.
For qualifying homestead property, the 2026 Save Our Homes assessment limitation is 2.7%. Save Our Homes limits annual increases in assessed value; it is not a cap on the tax bill itself.
Homestead Exemption
Florida homestead can reduce assessed value for a qualifying permanent residence and activates the Save Our Homes assessment limitation.
Portability
Qualifying Florida homeowners may be able to transfer some Save Our Homes assessment difference from a previous Florida homestead to a new one.
After opening this link
- Review the Homestead Exemption section.
- Check the tax year and filing status.
- Review required documentation.
- Check portability separately if you had a previous Florida homestead.
- Contact Customer Service at 904-255-5900 for property-specific filing questions.
2026 Duval County TRIM Notice, Property Record Card & VAB
The 2026 Notices of Proposed Property Taxes, commonly called TRIM notices, were scheduled for mailing on August 14, 2026. A TRIM notice is not the final tax bill.
It shows the property’s market, assessed and taxable values, exemptions and proposed taxing-authority information. Current TRIM information can also be accessed through the Property Search.
VAB Filing Fee
Duval VAB currently states that the non-refundable filing fee can be up to $50 per parcel, with statutory exceptions for certain petitions.
VAB Contact
117 W. Duval Street, Suite 305
Jacksonville, FL 32202
904-255-5124
Before filing a formal value petition
- Open the current parcel and verify its property characteristics.
- Review the market value rather than comparing only the tax bill.
- Check sales and other evidence relevant to the January 1 valuation date.
- Discuss the issue informally with the Property Appraiser when useful.
- File with the VAB by the applicable deadline if the issue is not resolved.
After opening the VAB page
- Review the current filing instructions.
- Confirm the petition type and applicable deadline.
- Check the current filing fee and exemptions from that fee.
- Use the DR-486 process specified by VAB.
- Keep your VAB number and RE number for future status questions.
Duval County Property Tax Records, Payment Dates & Discounts

| December 2026 | 3% discount |
| January 2027 | 2% discount |

- Locate the correct property account.
- Check the current bill and payment status.
- Review any early-payment discount.
- Save the official confirmation if you submit a payment.
Property Appraiser Search vs Duval Clerk Official Records
The PA property record is not a complete title search. For recorded deeds, mortgages, liens and other legal instruments, use the Duval County Clerk’s Official Records system.
Property Appraiser Record
- Tax-roll owner
- RE number
- Site address
- Assessment values
- Exemptions
- Building and land information
Clerk Official Records
- Recorded deeds
- Mortgages
- Liens
- Satisfactions
- Recorded document images
- Book/page and instrument searches
The Clerk’s online Official Records portal provides access to recorded Duval County records dating back to 1988. Uncertified copies available through the online portal can be downloaded or printed without a Clerk copy charge.
Search Duval Official RecordsAfter opening Official Records
- Choose party name, instrument number, document type, date or book/page search.
- Search likely name variations when researching ownership history.
- Open the matching recorded document.
- Verify parties, document type and recording date.
- Contact the Clerk when an official certified copy is required.
Jacksonville Property Searches Can Cross Different Municipal and Tax Contexts
A Duval County property search is not limited to properties using “Jacksonville” as the city name. The county database includes the independent beach municipalities and Baldwin as well.
Jacksonville
For most parcels, RE number is the fastest way to move between PA records, JAXGIS and Tax Collector information.
Jacksonville Beach
Confirm the municipality and taxing context before comparing its tax bill with an otherwise similar Jacksonville parcel.
Atlantic Beach
Use the PA record for assessment data and the appropriate city or planning source for municipal development questions.
Neptune Beach
Do not infer municipal tax treatment from a nearby Jacksonville Beach or Jacksonville property simply because the parcels are geographically close.
Baldwin
Search by RE number or street before adding city filters because the official tutorial warns that city fields can unnecessarily narrow a valid address search.
Countywide Buyers
Use the current parcel record, GIS and recorded deed together when researching a purchase. None of those sources alone answers every title, boundary and tax question.
