Sources & methodSources, dates and how the estimates are tested
Property tax
A minimum: the county-wide and city rates the state publishes times the roll's taxable value. The bill also carries the levies this figure leaves out; the county's bill is the official figure. Excludes levies on part of the county (fire, library and other special districts, unincorporated-area MSTUs) and non-ad valorem assessments.
Property tax · Due dates
Florida 2026 taxes: bills go out about November 1, with a 4% discount if paid in November; due by March 31, 2027.
Sources: Florida Statutes 197.162, 197.333, 197.222 and 194.011. Checked Oct 13, 2026.
Hazards
Ratings come from FEMA's National Risk Index (v1.20, planning-level) and the public federal and state maps named on each row, not a private climate model. FEMA rates each census tract from expected annual losses, community resilience and social vulnerability, for planning; it is not an assessment of this parcel.
Recorded flood claims
Insured buildings near this parcel, not the parcel itself. FEMA counts claims on buildings with NFIP flood insurance, so land that never had an insured building has no claims to count. The count is the parcel's census block group when it has 10 or more, else its tract's; a count under 10 prints as "Fewer than 10". Source: OpenFEMA NFIP Redacted Claims v3.
Neighborhood (Census)
