There is more significance to “January 1” than celebrating New Year’s Day!
When it comes to ad valorem property taxes in Florida, everything revolves around a date of assessment of January 1. When you receive your tax bill in November, those taxes are based on a snapshot of your property valuation which took place eleven months prior on January 1. As a result, the Property Appraiser studies the previous year’s real estate market activities and transactions to establish the current year values.
Why are my taxes higher than my neighbor when we have the same house?
The “Save Our Homes” (SOH) tax benefit limits the amount your homestead property’s assessed value can increase to 3%. Accumulation of “non-taxed” assessed values can cause this disparity. Your neighbor has enjoyed the benefit of an increasing “capped” differential over time, whereas you just purchased your home. Once you file for your homestead exemption, in all subsequent years, your assessed value will be subjected to this same cap.
