Palm Beach County Millage Rates have bee set. There are 2 basic classes of taxes, ad valorem, those determined based upon the taxable value of a proeprty, and non ad valorem, which are line items that are the same for each property. We will be looking at ad valorem taxes which are those determined as % of your assessed value. This % is called the millage rate and is set each year. This is the 2022 Palm Beach County Millage Rate sheet for the municipalities and those properties located outside a municipality. So, let’s look at a few of them.
| Jupiter | 17.9465 |
| Palm Beach Gardens | 18.7818 |
| North Palm Beach | 19.8019 |
| Juno Beach | 18.7395 |
| Tequesta | 20.0908 |
| Palm Beach County | 17.9181 |
This is only part of the picture though as many municipalities have move things which they are allowed to out of the ad valorem calculations and into the non ad valorem charges. In North Palm Beach for example, last year the Taxable Values, the tax base, went UP by 12.82 % BUT they kept the millage rate the same AND they implimented a line item (non ad valorem) charge for “Storm Water”. West Palm has move everything they can to non ad valorem charges.
