This page helps you handle Property Tax in Volusia County, Florida. It shows where to look up a bill, where to pay, and which county office handles billing, values, exemptions, and owner record details.

Property tax search and payment
If you need to find a bill or move toward payment, start with the county’s online property tax search and payment pages.

You can use the search details shown on county tax and appraiser pages to match the record you need before paying.

Payment methods and service fees
Volusia County accepts online payment by bank account, e-check, credit card, debit card, and wire transfer. Service charges apply depending on the method you choose.
| Payment method | Where used | Service fee |

| E-check | Online | $1.50 |
| Credit card | Online or in office | 2.6% |

E-checks are accepted online only. Use the routing number from your actual check unless your bank gives you a different routing number for electronic payments. Do not use money market accounts or credit card checks for e-check payments.
If you pay by wire, include the tax account number or parcel ID, the owner’s name, and the alternate key number so the payment can be credited correctly. International wire transfers must include an extra $30 for the intermediary bank fee.

If your question is about valuation, exemptions, ownership details, or mailing address changes, use the Property Appraiser side of the process. If your question is about paying a bill, missing tax notices, delinquency, or payment handling, use the Tax Collector side.
Missing bills, escrow, and address changes
You should receive a separate bill for each property owned, based on how the deed is recorded. If a bill is missing, contact the Tax Collector. Annual property tax bills are mailed on or before November 1, and the office says to get in touch if you have not received your bill by the second week in November.
If your taxes are paid through an escrow account, your mortgage company should request the bill. In that situation, the property owner may receive an informational notice stating that the original tax notice was sent to the escrow trustee.
For mailing address updates tied to property records, the Property Appraiser provides an online address change form. The form asks for the owner name, email, phone, parcel ID, previous mailing address, new mailing address, reason, and requestor authorization, and it states to allow 2 weeks for the request to appear on the website.
Exemptions and catastrophic damage relief
The Property Appraiser offers information on Homestead Exemption, senior exemptions, disability exemptions, veteran exemptions, widow or widower exemption, granny flat exemption, and other categories that can reduce taxable value.
You can review the county’s property tax exemption information if you need to check whether an exemption may apply to your property.
Volusia County also notes that Florida law provides for a partial property tax refund when a home is uninhabitable for at least 30 days due to a storm.
