Property and Tangible Taxes
Property and Tangible Taxes
Your annual taxes are determined by the combined total of all ad valorem and non-ad valorem assessments. The Tax Collector is responsible for printing, mailing, and collecting tax payments once the Property Appraiser certifies the tax roll.
- Real estate property taxes (or real property taxes) are a combination of the assessed value of your real estate property and the services or infrastructure that affect your property (also referred to as ad valorem and non-ad valorem taxes).
- The Property Appraiser is responsible for determining the taxable values of all property within the county. Once exemptions are subtracted, the taxable value is then multiplied by the millage rate set by individual taxing authorities (such as the Board of County Commissioners, municipalities, and various taxing authorities in Seminole County).
- Tangible taxes are an ad valorem tax applied to furniture, fixtures, and equipment in businesses and rental properties, as well as to structural additions on mobile homes. They are sent alongside real estate Tax bills and are subject to the same discounts.
