I recently looked into this when I was looking at the tax bills for a new listing at 13133 Alton Rd.
This is a link to the TOTAL millage rates.
This is a link to comparison of tax bills in the north county
There are 2 basic classes of taxes, ad valorem, those determined based upon the taxable value of a property, and non ad valorem, which are line items that are the same for each property type REGARDLESS of the valuation. We will be looking at ad valorem taxes which are those determined as a % of your assessed value. This % is called the millage rate and is set each year. So, let’s look at a few of them. A millage rate of 1 would be $1 collected for each $1000 of the assesed value of the property.
This is only part of the picture though as many municipalities have moved things which they are allowed to out of the ad valorem calculations and into the non ad valorem charges. This, I took a look at where in the area the TOTAL Bill is the lowest? In 2023 it was Jupiter. It’s interesting here that the folks who live in Jonathans Landing would pay a LOWER overall tax bill if they incorporated in the Town of Jupiter.
