The Property Appraiser’s Office

The Property Appraiser’s Office (PAO) is responsible for determining the fair market value of each property within the county for the purpose of taxation. This includes the appraisal of both commercial and residential real estate as well as tangible property used in business. The PAO also administers exemptions as outlined in state and local law including the Homestead Exemption which can provide up to $50,000 off a home owner’s assessed value and triggers the “Save our Homes” cap limiting annual assessed value increases to 3 percent or less. In addition, the PAO maintains an active database of all parcels in the county.

The PAO employs 128 people that work in seven divisions: Residential Appraisal, Commercial Appraisal, Customer Service/Exemptions, Field Operations, Land Records, Tangible Personal Property and Administration.

The Property Appraiser is a county public officer named in the Florida Constitution. Jim Overton is the Property Appraiser for Duval County and was elected in 2003.
