Common Reasons to Contact

Property owners reach out to our office for many different reasons throughout the year. Below are some of the most frequent topics of inquiry. We have supplied a brief overview of each to help you understand the process before you call or visit.

Apply for or Check the Status of a Homestead Exemption

The homestead exemption can reduce the taxable value of your primary residence by up to $50,000. To qualify, you must own and occupy the property as your permanent residence on January 1st of the tax year. The deadline to file a timely application is March 1st.

To check the status of an existing exemption, you can view your property’s details on our website or call our office. The property record card will show all exemptions currently applied to your parcel.

1. Gather Documents: You will need a Florida Driver’s License or ID card with the property address, a vehicle registration with the property address, and your Social Security number.
2. File Application: You can file in person at our Perry office or mail in the completed DR-501 application form.
3. Confirm Status: After filing, you can call our exemptions department at (850) 838-3511 to confirm it has been processed.

Request Ownership, Deed, or Legal Property Records

Our office maintains records on property ownership, sales history, and physical characteristics. These are public records and available for inspection. It is important to know that our office records ownership based on deeds filed with the Taylor County Clerk of Court. For official certified copies of deeds, mortgages, or liens, you must contact the Clerk’s office.

You can contact our office for:

• Property Record Cards: These show a summary of your property’s features, assessed value, and sales history.
• Ownership History: We can supply a history of ownership changes for a specific parcel.
• Current Owner Information: We can verify the current owner of record for any property in Taylor County.

Appeal Your Property’s Assessed Value

If you believe your property’s market value assessed by our office is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. The appeal process begins after you receive your Notice of Proposed Property Taxes, also known as the TRIM notice, in August. The first step is an informal discussion with one of our appraisers.

The formal appeal process involves filing a petition with the Value Adjustment Board (VAB). The deadline for filing this petition is printed on your TRIM notice, typically 25 days after the notice is mailed.

Get Assistance with Tangible Personal Property (TPP) Returns

Tangible Personal Property refers to assets used in a business to derive income. This includes items like furniture, fixtures, machinery, and equipment. All businesses in Taylor County must file a TPP return (Form DR-405) by April 1st each year, unless they have been granted a filing waiver.

Our TPP department is here to help business owners understand their filing obligations and correctly complete the return. Failure to file can result in penalties. We can answer questions about asset depreciation, abatements, and how to properly list your business property.

Verify Parcel Boundaries, Zoning, and Land Use

Our office maintains the official parcel maps for Taylor County. You can use our online GIS map to view your property’s approximate boundaries. If you have a question about a specific boundary line or need to confirm your property’s acreage, you should contact our mapping department. Our technicians can help you interpret the maps and understand your parcel’s configuration.

It is important to distinguish between our functions. We determine land use codes for assessment purposes (e.g., residential, commercial, agricultural). However, the authority for zoning regulations (what you can build and how you can use your land) rests with the Taylor County Board of County Commissioners or the appropriate city government.

Schedule an Appointment for In-Person Services

While appointments are not required, they are highly recommended for complex issues. Scheduling a meeting ensures that the appropriate specialist—such as a commercial appraiser, an agricultural specialist, or our chief deputy—will be available to meet with you. This can save you time and make your visit more productive.

To schedule an appointment, please call our main office number at (850) 838-3511. Let the receptionist know the reason for your visit so they can connect you with the right department to set a meeting time.

Report Incorrect or Outdated Property Information

We strive for accuracy, but errors can occur. If you notice incorrect data on your property record card, such as the wrong square footage, an incorrect number of bathrooms, or a feature that has been removed (like a shed or pool), please let us know. Accurate property data is essential for a fair and equitable assessment.

You can report an error by calling our office or sending an email to our admin address. Please supply the Parcel ID and a clear description of the incorrect data. We may schedule a field visit to verify the change.
