Lori Parrish, Broward County Property Appraiser
§ Office is responsible for properly assessing every parcel of real and taxable personal property in Broward County on the tax rolls every year.
§ The Property Appraiser does not set tax rates; the various taxing authorities in whose jurisdiction the property lies set them.
§ Assessed value is the valuation placed on property by a public tax assessor for purposes of taxation. Assessed value can change when you do home improvements.
§ Cities with the highest assess value increases as a direct result of code enforcement.
§ You are entitled to a Homestead Exemption if, as of January 1st, you have made the property your permanent home or the permanent home of a person who is legally or naturally dependent on you. By law, January 1 of each year is the date on which permanent residence is determined.
§ Florida law sets January 1 as the assessment date each year for determining both value and exemption eligibility.
§ Adjusted square feet are measured from the outside walls of the building, and include garages, open patios, covered entries, second floors, and carports. Unadjusted, which usually refers only to living space or air-conditioned space, and may result in measurements higher or lower than the numbers use.
