[Florida] Pulled up the county assessor site today out of boredom and tbh, now I’m annoyed. My neighbors across the street have a 2500 sq ft 4 bed with a finished basement and mine is a 2000 sq ft 3 bed, nothing special, undoubtly the less valuable house. Their annual property tax is around 4200 and mine is 5100.
Similar neighborhood, same schools and everything. turns out they bought their place 10 years ago and seemingly have some homestead cap or locked in rate situation, while i bought more recently, i get no breaks. i called the tax office and they pretty much said yeah, that’s normal and legal.
Still feels ridiculous that I’m paying more for an inferior house. now every tax bill is gonna make me think about this.
Why is my tax higher than my neighbors who own bigger and better house?
