How Property Taxes Are Calculated
Are you wondering how your tax amount is calculated?
The amount is based on the assessed value of a property's land, building(s), and improvements, as determined by the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser as of January 1.
Real estate property tax notices also include non-ad valorem assessments levied against the property for services such as solid waste, fire rescue, libraries, and other special assessments.
County and municipal governments, as well as local taxing authorities such as the School Board, South Florida Water Management District, and The Children's Trust, determine tax rates (also known as millage rates). The rate is multiplied against the assessed value of the property, minus exemptions, to determine the amount of taxes due.
You may visit the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser website for more details, and for their tax estimator tool to calculate future estimated taxes (miamidadepa.gov).
