Well, it’s that time of the year again. The first of November and we all just got our real estate tax bills. So, who were the winners and losers? Whose taxes went up the most? And, where should one live to pay the lowest real estate taxes in Northern Palm Beach County
2020 Final Municipality Tax Roll
2020 Final Tax millage rates (ALL taxing districts)
Riviera Beach (Singer Island) up 7.33% to 21.9497
North Palm Beach up 3.83% to 20.9977
Palm Beach Gardens up 3.44% to 19.6310
Juno Beach up 4.34% to 19.6364
Jupiter up 4.74% to 18.7209
Tequesta up 4.71% to 20.8064
Unincorporated Palm Beach County enjoys the lowest tax rate at 17.9351
OK, So let’s look at 3 houses. Each one worth (assessed at) 2M in Harbour Isles, Admiral’s Cove and Frenchman’s Harbor. The Harbour Isles house in North Palm Beach pays $41,995.40 in ad valorem real estate taxes each year. The Admiral’s Cove home in Jupiter pays $37,441.80 and the Frenchman’s Harbour home, which is in unincorporated Palm Beach County, pays just $35,870.20 or over 6k less in taxes every year compared to a similar home in Harbour Isles.
