Property values and assessment notes

The Charlotte County Property Appraiser explains that Florida law requires just value to be determined each year. The office describes just value as legally tied to full cash value and fair market value.

For homestead properties, assessed value and just value can differ because of the Save Our Homes limitation. Non-homestead property may receive a 10% assessment limitation, which the office applies automatically in the year after purchase or change of ownership when the property qualifies.

The Property Appraiser is not the Tax Collector and does not levy or collect taxes. Property tax amounts depend on taxable value, millage rates set by taxing authorities, and any non-ad valorem assessments that may apply.
