Property taxes in Brevard County generally run between $20.00-$24.00 per $1,000 (called the millage rate) of a home’s assessed value.

A home’s assessed value is generally 60%-70% of your purchase price. On a typical three-bedroom, two-bath home purchased for $170,000, this would put your property taxes in the $2,200 - $2,600 range.

What is Homestead?

The State of Florida provides a homestead exemption of $25,000 for qualifying residences:

1. If you own the property on January 1 of the year for which you request homestead status.

2. If the home is your principal residence (reside for at least six months).

3. If you are a permanent resident of the State of Florida.

The $25,000 Homestead Exemption generally lowers your tax bill by $500-$600 per year.

These figures are estimates only; prior to purchasing any property in Brevard County, you will receive the latest actual property tax figures.
