The COUNTY TAX
COLLECTOR (note: NOT part of our office) mailed the 2020 tax bills during
the first week of November.
These tax bills would have become delinquent if not paid in full by April 1, 2021.
After this date, any taxes still owing become delinquent.
Broward County's Records, Taxes and Treasury Division is responsible for the billing and collecting of
property taxes and has posted this information on their website at https://www.broward.org/RecordsTaxesTreasury/Pages/Default.aspx.
Should you have any questions regarding the payment of property taxes, their office can be reached
at (954) 831-4000 or by email to revenue@broward.org
The Property Appraiser does NOT set your tax rates. Our office is responsible for ensuring the fair
assessment (value) of all properties and applying all exemptions.
Your County Commission, School Board, City Commission, Hospital District, and other boards set your tax
rates each year.

UPCOMING 2021 PROPERTY
ASSESSMENTS
BCPA is currently working on the 2021 property assessments. The preliminary just values will be posted
online by June 1 with the final values posted by July 1. It is important to remember Florida law requires
the Property Appraiser to use January 1 as the assessment date each year for determining both value and
exemption eligibility.
The 2021 assessments are based on the qualified sales of like properties which occurred during January 2,
2020 through January 1, 2021 (with the greatest weight given to sales from the final quarter of the year).
Any increase or decrease in sale prices which occur in 2021 will affect the 2022 assessments (August 2022
TRIM Notice and November 2022 tax bill).
