"Property Taxes in Miami-Dade County"

Vera M. Jensen says:

Based on the taxable income you show for a house assessed at $100,000 with a mill value of 5.0000, divided by 1,000, can I assume that a house assessed at 230,000, with a mill value of 10.000, divided by 1,000 would have a basic tax of a little more than $1,000 without any extras for libraries, etc., in the area which would increase the tax to a certain degree?

Is property tax in Dade County obligatory even in the case of seniors whose combined income totals only 1000.00 a month? The asssessed value of the property is $230000.00 but the income is below the poverty line?

I was told that if I purchase a home in dade county today my taxes will be 2% of my purchase price. If this is correct please give me the web site where this ruling appears.

Hi Patrick,

There is no website that states this fact. It is based on millage rates as described.

“One mill equals $1 per $1,000 of property value.

You can estimate your property tax by using the assessed value, minus any exemptions, multiply by the millage rate, and divide by 1,000.

For instance, $100,000 in taxable value with a millage rate of 5.0000 divided by 1,000 would generate $500 in taxes.”

Each year, the millage rate varies. It also depends what area of Miami you live in.

There is a link to the millage table rates (in PDF) in the last paragraph above.

Good luck with disputing the assessment. I’ve wasted my time showing comparables in my neighborhood and it did me no good.

Previous post in right. Don’t bother disputing, they will fight you tooth and nail for as high assessment as they can get away with. I bough (and sold) a house for 350K that was assesed at 900K, taxes alone were 21K. Stay away from real estate in Miami-Dade until taxes level off… maybe in another 2-3 years.

Is there any data on the percent of claim that are adjusted vs. filed with the VAB board. I’m trying to determine how realistic it is to assume the will readjust our property.

Miami Beach just voted to raise the property taxes. You’ll be paying more for the country club that is run at city hall for unions and city employees.

Donald Wallace says:

My home value went down significantly this year. Why would the appraisal of the home be valued at less than what the house was purchased at?

Posted on 04/19/2011 at 7:02 AM

Michelle says:

Donald, the appraisal is what the home is valued at now, not what you paid for it. It is based on current sales of homes like yours in your same area.

If you are not planning on moving soon, there is an upside to this - property taxes decrease as the value of your home decreases
