The Tax Collector has the authority and obligation to collect all taxes as shown on the tax roll by the date of delinquency. Ad Valorem taxes are collected on an annual basis beginning November 1st and are based on that calendar year from January 1st through December 31st.
Tax notices are mailed to the owner’s address as it appears on the certified tax roll, normally on or before November 1st. If you do not receive a tax bill in November, you may print one from our website or contact our office to request a copy be mailed to you. Taxes may be paid online, in person at one of our offices, or by mail (Postmark does apply on current tax payments).
An increase in the millage rate(s), assessed value of the property or the loss of an exemption are common changes that affect the tax amount. The Property Appraiser's office determines the assessed value and exemptions on the tax roll. If you need to discuss these amounts, contact the Property Appraiser's office or visit their website - Nassau County Property Appraiser.
Each taxing authority determines the millage rate that will be calculated on the assessed value. If you have questions about the millage rate for a particular taxing authority their contact information is listed on the tax bill brochure enclosed with your property tax bill.
Complete the change of address form included with your tax bill and return it to the Property Appraiser's office. Or visit the Property Appraiser's website Nassau County Property Appraiser for more information.
Notify the Tax Collector's office so a tax bill can be mailed to the new owner. Changes to the tax roll made after the cut-off date (typically July) will not be reflected until the following tax year.
Homestead and other Exemption Applications are processed by the Property Appraiser's office. You can visit their website for more information at Nassau County Property Appraiser.
The Property Appraiser’s office can assist you with estimating upcoming property tax amounts. Please view their website for more information: Nassau County Property Appraiser. Please Note: The Property Appraiser does not have access to non-ad valorem assessment amounts such as CDD fees. Estimated tax amounts provided to you by the Property Appraiser will not include any non-ad valorem assessments. You can contact the non-ad valorem entity directly for estimated amounts that will be added to your tax bill if you live within a non-ad valorem district.
Buyers of property should never rely on the seller’s current (or past) property tax amounts as an estimate of how much the taxes will be. Many factors make up the calculations of a tax bill. A new owner would not benefit from the prior owner’s assessed value, Save Our Homes value caps, exemptions, etc.
You can pay in person at any of our locations.
