Broward County Property Tax Calculator
Broward County property owners benefit from the same Save Our Homes protection available statewide in Florida: a homestead exemption not only lowers taxable value but also caps how fast assessed value can rise each year. The Broward County Property Appraiser sets values annually and sends a TRIM notice detailing proposed rates before they take effect. Set the tool above to Broward County and enter a home value to gauge your bill.

Property tax in Broward County, Florida
- Every property in Broward gets an assessed value once a year from the county property appraiser, and that number is disclosed each year via the TRIM notice along with proposed rates from every taxing authority.
- A qualifying primary residence that files for the homestead exemption sees taxable value drop, and Save Our Homes kicks in to cap how much that figure can climb going forward.
- When ownership changes hands, assessed value snaps back to current market terms, and whatever Save Our Homes cap the seller had built up disappears with the sale.
- Challenging a figure can start informally with the property appraiser, or an owner can go straight to a formal case before the value adjustment board.

Frequently asked questions
How is property tax calculated in Broward County?
The Broward County Property Appraiser fixes an assessed value every year, and every taxing authority covering your address bills its own rate against it, all itemized on the annual TRIM notice. Homestead exemptions and the Save Our Homes cap both work to hold down what a qualifying owner-occupant pays.
How do I appeal my Broward County assessment?
An informal try with the property appraiser's office comes first; barring resolution, a formal petition to the value adjustment board is next, due by the date printed on your TRIM notice.
Does Broward County offer a homestead exemption?
Yes — a Florida homestead exemption reduces taxable value on a qualifying primary residence and, through Save Our Homes, caps how much assessed value can climb annually no matter how fast the market is moving.
Why did my Broward County assessed value jump after I bought my home?
A change in ownership resets assessed value to the current market price, ending whatever Save Our Homes cap the prior owner had built up over their years there. From that new baseline, the cap applies again once you establish your own homestead exemption.
