Property tax in Palm Beach County, Florida
- Property here gets a fresh figure from the county property appraiser every year, and the specifics land on your mailbox via the TRIM notice.
- A qualifying primary residence gets a taxable-value cut from the homestead exemption, and that filing is also what activates the Save Our Homes growth cap.
- A homesteaded property loses its Save Our Homes protection the moment it sells, with the new owner starting fresh from a market-value assessment.
- An owner who disputes a valuation can request an informal conference with the property appraiser, or file a formal petition with the county's value adjustment board.

Frequently asked questions
How is property tax calculated in Palm Beach County?
The property appraiser's office fixes an assessed value for your home each year, and each local taxing authority bills its own rate against that figure, all summarized on your TRIM notice. A homestead exemption combined with the Save Our Homes cap keeps qualifying owner-occupants' bills growing more slowly than the open market.
How do I appeal my Palm Beach County assessment?
An informal conversation with the property appraiser's office is the easy first move; escalating to the value adjustment board is the formal next step, with the filing deadline set by your TRIM notice.
Does Palm Beach County offer a homestead exemption?
Yes — Florida's homestead exemption applies to a qualifying primary residence here, reducing taxable value and triggering the Save Our Homes cap that limits annual assessed-value growth for as long as the homestead remains in place.
What happens to Save Our Homes savings if I sell my Palm Beach County home?
The cap doesn't transfer with the sale — the new owner's assessed value resets to the current market price, and Save Our Homes only starts protecting them again once they establish their own homestead exemption. Some homestead benefits can be portable to a new Florida home if you move, subject to state rules.
