Millage Rates
Taxes are levied in Clay County by the taxing authorities empowered to do
so by the State Legislature. The value of each real estate and tangible
personal property is established by the County Property Appraiser. The
Board of County Commissioners set the millage or rate of taxation for the
county; the School Board for the schools; the city council for each municipality. The
governing bodies of other independent special taxing districts and authorities
set the millage rates for those areas.
The non ad valorem assessment roll for the Solid Waste and Municipal Service
Bevefit Unit is established by the Board of County Commissioners. The
Community Development District Assessments are imposed on neighborhoods by
the residents for specific benefits received.
Listed below are the millage rates and the appropriate taxing authorities,
along with a telephone number for you to contact for a specific question.
