Florida Property Appraiser Search: Official Links for All 67 Counties
A Florida Property Appraiser is the county official responsible for establishing property values for ad valorem tax purposes, maintaining the assessment roll, administering exemptions and classifications, and providing public property-record information.
Florida does not use one statewide parcel-search system for all properties. Each of the state’s 67 counties maintains its own Property Appraiser office and search tools. That means a property in Miami-Dade must be searched through Miami-Dade’s office, while property in Orange, Broward, Duval, Lee or another county uses a different system.
Use the county directory below to reach the correct official office, then search by the identifiers that county supports—typically owner name, property address, parcel number, folio, account number, alternate key or another local parcel identifier.
Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Clerk or VAB?
Florida property-tax work is divided among several local offices. The Property Appraiser does not normally collect your tax payment, and the Tax Collector does not decide your market value or approve your homestead exemption.

How to Search Florida Property Records Without Choosing the Wrong Parcel
Florida’s 67 appraisal systems look different, but a reliable search process is similar in every county.
Confirm the county first
Use the county where the land is physically located. A mailing city or ZIP code can sometimes cross county lines, so do not assume the city name proves the correct county.
Open that county’s official Property Appraiser
Use the directory above or Florida DOR’s official local-official selector instead of relying on a third-party property-data page.
Use the strongest identifier available
A parcel, folio, account or other unique property identifier is generally more precise than an owner-name search. Address search is often the easiest alternative.
Verify the parcel before using its values
Check the site address, parcel identifier, owner, legal or subdivision information and property characteristics before treating the record as a match.
Read the complete assessment record
Market value, assessed value and taxable value answer different questions. Also review exemptions, land data, improvements, sales and the applicable assessment year.
Market Value, Assessed Value and Taxable Value in Florida
Market / Just Value
The Property Appraiser’s estimate of just value for ad valorem assessment purposes before applicable assessment limitations and exemptions.
Assessed Value
The value after applicable assessment limitations or classifications are considered. Homestead property may receive the Save Our Homes assessment limitation.
Taxable Value
The assessed value after exemptions applicable to a specific taxing authority are deducted.
What a Florida Property Appraiser record may contain

Florida Homestead Exemption & 2026 Save Our Homes Rules
Homestead applications are filed with the Property Appraiser in the county where the qualifying home is located. The Florida Department of Revenue provides statewide guidance, but the county office receives the application and determines whether the parcel qualifies.
2026 exemption amounts
Florida Department of Revenue’s 2026 exemption codes list the first homestead exemption at $25,000. That portion can apply to school district, county and municipal taxes when the property qualifies.
The inflation-adjusted additional homestead exemption for 2026 is listed at up to $26,411. That additional exemption applies to qualifying county and municipal taxable value, not school district taxes.
2026 Save Our Homes assessment limitation
Florida DOR lists the 2026 Save Our Homes cap at 2.7%. For qualifying homestead property, annual reassessment increases are generally limited to the lower of 3% or the applicable CPI change, subject to statutory rules and exceptions.
Florida DOR — Exemptions & BenefitsAfter opening this Florida DOR exemption page
- Read the Homestead Exemption section.
- Review Save Our Homes and portability information.
- Check any senior, disability, veteran or military benefit that may apply.
- Return to your county Property Appraiser to submit the actual application.
Moving Within Florida? Homestead Does Not Transfer Automatically
Your old homestead exemption itself does not move to the new property. You must apply for homestead on the new qualifying residence.
However, an eligible owner may be able to transfer all or part of the accumulated Save Our Homes assessment difference from a previous Florida homestead to a new Florida homestead. This is commonly called portability.
What Portability Can Do
It can reduce the assessed value of a new qualifying Florida homestead by transferring an eligible assessment difference from the previous homestead.
Maximum Transfer
Florida’s portability rules generally limit the transferable assessment difference to a maximum of $500,000, with additional proportional rules when moving to a lower-value home.
After opening this forms page
- Find Form DR-501 for homestead exemption when needed.
- Find Form DR-501T for portability.
- Read the form instructions.
- Submit the forms to the Property Appraiser in the county of the new homestead.
The Property Appraiser Does Not Normally Collect Your Florida Property Tax
The Property Appraiser creates and maintains assessment values. The county Tax Collector issues or administers the final tax bill and collects payment.

Florida TRIM Notices & Value Adjustment Board Petitions
The Truth in Millage process produces the annual Notice of Proposed Property Taxes commonly called the TRIM notice. It shows assessment information, exemptions and proposed tax information before the final tax bill.
Before filing a VAB petition
Confirm the parcel and tax year
Do not appeal a property record until you have confirmed the correct parcel and current assessment year.
Identify the exact issue
Value, property characteristics, homestead, portability and agricultural classification are different types of disputes and can require different evidence.
Contact the Property Appraiser when useful
An informal review can resolve some issues, but do not assume that an informal conversation extends the formal petition deadline.
Check the county-specific VAB deadline
Petition dates vary with the county’s notice schedule and the type of dispute. Use your county Clerk/VAB page and the notice you received.
After opening this official link
- Scroll to the Value Adjustment Board section.
- Select your county.
- Review the local petition deadline and filing instructions.
- Use the Clerk/VAB portal for the formal filing.
