I'm looking at MLS listings in Ococee and Windermere, just outside Orlando, in Orange county. I'm looking at homes priced just under $300,000. The listed taxes are running $5,000 to $7,000 per year, to me that is very high. I'm not sure what these homes are taxed accessed at but due to all the foreclosures and short sales, I would say that reassessments will be forth coming. If it is your primary residence you can apply for the homestead exemption. It is, at a minimum, a $25,000 deduction from a home's assessed value as determined by the county property appraiser. Take the home's assessed value, subtract $25,000, and apply the local millage rate to calculate the property taxes due. They are now offering " beginning 2009 I think " an increased homestead exemption of an additional $25,000 will be applied to homes worth at least $75,000, though the second $25,000 exemption does not include school tax deductions. Homes valued at $50,000 or less will receive a $25,000 exemption. Homes valued from $50,000 to $75,000 received a prorated deduction beyond the initial $25,000. There is no separate application for this new and additional exemption, and new homeowners who apply for the traditional homestead exemption before March 1 will automatically receive the savings. The same is true for long-time homeowners. They will receive the additional homestead exemption automatically if their home has an automatic homestead status renewal. No action is necessary.

Will delinquent property taxes on out of state property effect credit score?
Unpaid property taxes in Florida result in sales of Tax certificates. I have found that the liability is against the property and unpaid taxes are satisfied by a lien against the property. I can't find anywhere the answer as to whether the Taxpayer is not reported to the credit bureau. it seems to me that since counties get the money a different way (investor in the tax certificate) they are not at loss and because the liability is against the property, the owner of the property's credit is not affected? Can someone confirm? Tx CB, Ormond Beach, FL

Property taxes are very local. Also, the value used as a tax assesment value is different than the "market value" that you are probably referring to. In fact, the assessed value for properties of what may be the same market value varies from one tax area to another, depending on when they are trendinfg them to, and other factors.

What is municipal buildings tax?
A property tax (or millage tax) is an ad valorem levy on the value of property that the owner is required to pay. The tax is levied by the governing authority of the jurisdiction in which the property is located; it may be paid to a national government, a federated state or a municipality. Multiple jurisdictions may tax the same property.There are three species or types of property: land, improvements to land (immovable man-made objects, such as buildings), and personal property (movable man-made objects). Real property (also called real estate or realty) means the combination of land and improvements. Under a property tax system, the state requires and/or performs an appraisal of the monetary value of each property, and tax is assessed in proportion to that value. Forms of property tax used vary between countries and jurisdictions.A special assessment tax is sometimes confused with property tax. These are two distinct forms of taxation: one (ad valorem tax) relies upon the fair market value of the property being taxed for justification, and the other (special assessment) relies upon a special enhancement called a "benefit" for its justification.The property tax rate is often given as a percentage. It may also be expressed as a permille (amount of tax per thousand currency units of property value), which is also known as a millage rate or mill levy. (A mill is also one-thousandth of a currency unit.) To calculate the property tax, the authority will multiply the assessed value of the property by the mill rate and then divide by 1,000. For example, a property with an assessed value of US $50,000 located in a municipality with a mill rate of 20 mills would have a property tax bill of US $1,000 per year.[1] In more fam
