Town Hall Meetings: Nassau County Property Values, Assessments

Wondering about rising property values and associated tax bills?

According to the Nassau Couunty, Florida Property Appraiser’s office, property values are up in 2015. Tax bills for the year 2015 (payable beginning November 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016) will reflect the improving real estate market. During August 2015, as required by law, property owners will find in their mailboxes a “Notice of Proposed Property Taxes.”

Property Appraiser to Host Town Hall Meetings

Nassau County, Florida Property Appraiser, Mike Hickox, will host two town hall meetings, covering the “State Of Your Real Estate 2015” to discuss property values and answer any questions concerning property assessments and exemptions.

This will be an opportunity for property owners to learn more about the valuation process, receive updates about the office, and ask any questions to help them better understand their assessments prior to receiving their notice of proposed taxes. The two meeting locations are in Hilliard and Fernandina Beach as follows:

Hilliard Town Hall Meeting
Hilliard Town Hall Building, 15859 CR 108, Hilliard, FL
Thursday, July 30, 2015
Time: 5:30pm – 6:30pm

According to previous information released by the appraiser’s office, primary residences with a “Homestead Exemption” can anticipate the following assessment adjustment: “Based on the CPI used for 2015, homesteaded properties will increase no more than 0.8%.” In the state of Florida, non-homestead properties are subject to a 10% cap of annual assessment increases.
