Whether you are looking in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood or Pembroke Pines, use the city and parcel in the Broward Property Appraiser’s estimator. BCPA’s general buyer tool asks for a city and expected purchase price; its parcel record offers a property-specific estimate.
Review the seller’s assessment limits and exemptions separately from your own eligibility. The county estimator excludes non-ad-valorem assessments such as fire, garbage or special-district charges. Review those charges on the actual bill before setting an escrow budget.
Imagine a Hollywood home offered at $650,000 with the seller’s assessed value at $280,000. Using the seller’s taxable value as your future tax base can understate the budget. Run a buyer estimate with the expected price and correct city, then review your own exemptions, any portability and non-ad-valorem charges. The price is a planning input, not a guaranteed county assessment. This is an illustrative scenario.
Copy the taxable value and millage rate for the same taxing authority from your bill. School and non-school taxable values can differ. The calculation is taxable value × mills ÷ 1,000.
Illustration only: $500,000 taxable value × 7 mills ÷ 1,000 = $3,500 for one levy. These are not current local rates. This tool excludes other levies, non-ad-valorem charges, discounts and fees. It does not estimate reassessment after a purchase. For that, use the buyer estimator.

Everything below is what produced the number you see — so you, or a hearing officer, can check it rather than take our word for it.
What we cannot see. The roll records size, age, land and use — not condition. A gut-renovated house and a tired one of the same age and size look identical to us, and neither our estimate nor the comparables can account for the difference. Interior condition, recent work and anything a photograph would show are exactly the evidence you add, and are often what decides a hearing.
The timely 2026 petition deadline was September 18, 2026. A late petition requires county review; check your assessment and confirm your options directly with the VAB. Check the official county VAB resource below for current filing instructions and fees. A property check does not file a petition.
Different cities and districts can have different taxing authorities and millage rates. Select the correct city and check the specific parcel record rather than applying a countywide average to a purchase price.
Its general buyer estimator excludes non-ad-valorem assessments and does not account for every exemption. Check the property’s bill for charges such as fire, garbage and special assessments, and confirm the parcel-specific estimate with BCPA.
The seller’s exemption does not automatically become yours. Review your own homestead eligibility with BCPA. If you previously had a Florida homestead, separately check whether you qualify to transfer a Save Our Homes assessment difference through portability.

Planning a move? Start with the official-estimate workflow to compare the current roll, projected post-purchase tax, and the seller's closing credit. If you are reviewing an existing bill, use our bill review before deciding whether an exemption or appeal review is appropriate.
