This tax estimation tool is intended to assist new home buyers, loan underwriters,
mortgage lenders, and escrow agents by providing a more realistic estimate of
property taxes for a new owner for the first tax year (Jan. 1) following their acquisition.
This Tax Estimator is Based on the Following Assumptions:
- Valid for Real Property Only, not Tangible Personal Property.
- Assumes no physical additions to the property (new construction) in the year of purchase.
- Assumes the purchase is a qualified, arm's length transaction reflective of typical market conditions.
- Pre-construction contract prices should not be used as these are typically below market value
at time of completion and will result in an unreliable estimate.
- Assumes the owner and property will be eligible for homestead exemption if you select
"Yes" in either Step 3 or 4 but provides no guarantee of eligibility.
- This estimation tool does not account for partial homestead use or interests.
Available input selections are for 100% or 0% homestead only.
- The maximum portability benefit that can be transferred is $500,000.
- This estimation tool does not take into account any additional exemptions such as
Widow/Widowers, Veterans, Disability, Senior, First Responder, etc.
Please contact our Exemptions Department at (904) 255-5900 regarding the eligibility
and impact of these exemptions.
- The estimator utilizes the most recently certified millage rates, typically from the
preceding year. Increases in millage rates may further increase taxes.
-
This estimation tool is for Ad Valorem taxes only. Your final tax bill may contain non-ad valorem assessments such as assessments for roads, fire, garbage, lighting, drainage, water, sewer or other governmental services and facilitites
including solidwaste and stormwater fees, which may be levied by your county, city or a special district.
- Portability calculation assumes that a qualified homestead existed as of the most recent
Jan. 1st and utilizes values presented on our website at time of estimation tool use.
Please note these are not typically the final figures used when your application is processed.
