REQUEST: Update from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office for tax year 2026.
…body
EXPLANATION: Cecil G. Jackson, Chief Appraiser with the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office will provide an update regarding property taxes and valuations as we get ready for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Budget.
The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office is monitoring the current set of proposals filed in Tallahassee that contemplate a change to the Florida property tax. Eight bills were filed after the work of the House Select Committee on Property Taxes, and they have given five of the eight a closer look for implications to our PBC Taxing Authorities.
They shared this information to provide further information via a data dashboard. The link below has data for all of Palm Beach County and each of the taxing authorities and municipalities. Each tab (bill) also includes assumptions made in order to arrive at the value and tax information. Please look closely at these assumptions before using the data.
