Duval County Property Assessor 2026: Search & Tax Records

by
Jacksonville • Duval Property Records Navigator

Search Duval County Property Records, RE Numbers, Values, TRIM & Tax Bills

People often search for a “Duval County Assessor,” but Florida uses the office title Property Appraiser. In Duval County, the Jacksonville Property Appraiser maintains real-estate records, RE Numbers, ownership, values, exemptions and property characteristics. The Duval County Tax Collector separately handles property-tax billing and payment.

This 2026 guide shows how to search by RE Number, owner or address; use JAXGIS; decode market, assessed and taxable value; check Save Our Homes and portability; handle late homestead filing; prepare for the 2026 TRIM/VAB window; pay taxes; research deeds and liens; and protect a property with Duval’s free Property Fraud Alert.

What Duval County Property Owners Should Be Watching Now

The 2026 TRIM/VAB season is beginning. Duval’s 2026 Value Adjustment Board held its organizational meeting on August 6, 2026. As of this guide’s review, the public VAB material does not yet display a final 2026 petition deadline in the same place that still shows the prior-year deadline. Use the deadline printed on your 2026 TRIM notice rather than copying the 2025 September 9 date.
Check the property card now Search your RE Number and verify owner, mailing address, building details, market value, assessed value and exemptions before 2026 TRIM notices are mailed.
2026 homestead late filing The regular March 1 deadline passed, but Duval currently states that late filing is allowed until 25 days after the mid-August TRIM mailing.
2026 tax bill is not due yet Annual 2026 property-tax notices are expected in November. The final gross-payment deadline will be March 31, 2027.
Do not use the 2025 VAB deadline for a 2026 appeal. The official VAB page still contains prior-year deadline language in some places. The controlling deadline for an ordinary 2026 TRIM petition should be taken from the 2026 Notice of Proposed Property Taxes or confirmed directly with the VAB Clerk at 904-255-5124.
Website transition: Jacksonville announced that the Property Appraiser website began transitioning on March 13, 2026. If a menu item moves or an old deep link changes, start from the official Property Appraiser homepage or use the direct Property Search, JAXGIS and Tax Collector routes in this guide.

Duval’s master property key

What Is the Duval County RE Number?

The Real Estate Number—often shown as RE#—is Jacksonville’s core parcel identifier. City guidance also describes it as a tax identification number or property identification number.

Property Appraiser Use the full RE Number for the cleanest property-card search.
Maps & zoning JAXGIS accepts the 10-digit RE Number for direct parcel research.
Assessment review Keep it with your TRIM notice and Property Record Card.
Tax Collector Use the property identifier when matching the correct tax account.
City records Jacksonville departments often request the RE Number when researching code, zoning or property-related records.
Save the RE Number once. Put it in your closing file, homestead folder, appeal file and property-maintenance records. It reduces repeated address-matching errors across Jacksonville systems.

Six Things to Verify Before Relying on a Duval Property Record

RE Number Match all 10 digits.
Owner Check transfer status.
Address Match actual property.
Legal Compare deed clues.
Tax year Use same-year values.
Exemption Verify current status.
Boundary warning: The Duval Property Appraiser explicitly warns buyers and sellers that aerial imagery does not always reflect actual boundaries and should never replace a licensed survey for a real-estate transaction.
Property Record Card decoder

What Jacksonville Property Record Fields Mean

Property field What it tells you What to check
RE Number Ten-digit Duval real-estate identification number. Copy the complete number for maps, tax and city-record research.
Owner Ownership reflected in the Property Appraiser tax-roll record. Use Clerk Official Records when a recent recorded transfer is missing.
Property address Location associated with the parcel. Compare with JAXGIS and deed information.
Legal description Abbreviated legal-description information. Use the recorded deed or plat for full legal language.
Land value Appraised value allocated to land. Review land size, location and classification.
Building value Appraised component attributed to taxable improvements. Review living area, year built, quality and property features.
Market / just value Property Appraiser’s market-value determination before caps and exemptions. Compare with credible January 1 market evidence.
Assessed value Value after constitutional or statutory assessment limitations. For homesteaded property review Save Our Homes and portability.
Taxable value Assessed value remaining after exemptions for an individual taxing authority. Different authorities can show different taxable values.
Sales Recorded transaction information associated with the parcel. Do not treat every transfer as an arm’s-length comparable sale.
Jacksonville GIS research

How to Use JAXGIS With the Duval RE Number

JAXGIS is Jacksonville’s online mapping system for parcel context and municipal geographic information. City zoning guidance recommends searching by either address or the 10-digit RE Number.

Copy the RE Number from Property Search. This is usually cleaner than repeatedly matching an address.
Open JAXGIS. Go to Jacksonville JAXGIS.
Search the 10-digit RE Number or address. Select the correct parcel and confirm location against the Property Appraiser record.
Review zoning and land-use layers. Jacksonville’s Planning Department directs property owners to JAXGIS for current land-use and zoning research.
Review parcel context. Look at surrounding roads, parcels, city boundaries and available mapping layers.
Verify legal conclusions separately. A GIS layer does not replace a survey, recorded easement, title commitment, zoning verification letter or legal advice.
Good use Finding zoning or map context for a known RE Number.
Bad use Treating a screen-drawn parcel line as proof of the legal boundary.
Best habit Keep Property Search, JAXGIS, deed and tax records open together when doing due diligence.
Florida value stack

Market Value → Assessed Value → Exemptions → Taxable Value

Market / just value Property Appraiser’s estimate of market value as of January 1.
Assessed value Market value after applicable assessment limitations and portability adjustments.
Less exemptions Homestead, senior, veteran, disability and other approved exemptions can reduce taxable assessment.
Taxable value Value used by each taxing authority before applying millage and non-ad valorem charges.
Why taxable values can differ on one parcel: Florida exemptions do not always apply identically to school, county, city and other taxing-authority millages. Read the TRIM notice by taxing authority rather than looking for one universal taxable value.
Use the Official Duval Tax Estimator Estimate property taxes for planning, but use the Tax Collector’s actual bill once the certified tax roll is billed.
2026 late-filing period

Duval County Homestead Exemption: March 1 Deadline and Late Filing

Duval’s homestead exemption can remove up to $50,000 from assessed value for qualifying owner-occupied primary residences. The second portion does not apply to school millage.

January 1 qualification The property must be the permanent home of the owner or a legally or naturally dependent person on January 1 of the tax-roll year.
March 1 timely deadline Timely filing for the 2026 tax roll closed March 1, 2026.
Late filing Duval states that late applications may be accepted until 25 days after the mid-August TRIM mailing.

What to prepare before filing

  • RE Number from the Duval property record
  • Florida driver license or Florida ID
  • Property ownership information
  • January 1 occupancy facts
  • Florida vehicle or voter information when requested
  • Prior Florida homestead details for portability
  • Social Security information when required by the official application
  • Additional documents requested for special circumstances
August 2026 action: If you believe you qualified for 2026 homestead but missed March 1, do not wait until after the TRIM appeal period. Contact Customer Service/Exemptions now at 904-255-5900 and confirm the exact 2026 late-filing cutoff.
Online Homestead Application Use Jacksonville’s official filing system and follow its current tax-year prompts. Review All Exemptions Check homestead, veteran, disability, senior and other Property Appraiser exemptions.
Florida homestead assessment cap

Save Our Homes and Portability in Duval County

Once a property receives homestead exemption, Florida’s Save Our Homes protection generally limits annual increases in assessed value to 3% or the change in the applicable CPI, whichever is lower.

Buying a capped home Do not assume the seller’s low assessed value transfers to you. A qualifying change in ownership can remove the prior owner’s cap.
Moving within Florida A qualifying owner may be able to transfer some or all of a prior Save Our Homes benefit through portability.
Separate applications Duval states that a new homestead application and portability application are separate filings.
Buyer budgeting tip: Do not estimate your future Duval tax bill using the seller’s assessed value alone. Review the purchase price, expected reassessment, your own homestead eligibility and any portability benefit.
Review Save Our Homes Rules Use the current Property Appraiser explanation before estimating a new owner’s assessed value.
2026 income threshold verified

Duval County Senior Homestead Exemptions for 2026

Duval currently offers two additional limited-income senior homestead exemptions for qualifying owners age 65 or older.

Limited-income senior exemption Requires an existing homestead exemption, age 65 or older as of January 1, 2026 and qualifying household income. Duval lists the 2026 adjusted household-income limitation as $38,686.
Long-term residency senior exemption Also requires age and income qualification, at least 25 years of uninterrupted permanent residency on the property and a Property Appraiser just value below $250,000 under the current published criteria.
Application timing: Duval lists March 1 as the timely senior-exemption deadline and permits certain late applications until 25 days after the TRIM mailing. Existing qualifying senior exemptions now generally auto-renew, but owners must report when they no longer qualify.
Check 2026 Senior Exemption Rules Verify age, income, residency and application requirements directly with the Property Appraiser.
Agricultural classification

Duval County Greenbelt / Agricultural Classification

Land used primarily for bona fide commercial agricultural purposes may qualify for agricultural classification. Jacksonville’s Property Appraiser evaluates factors such as use, size, care of the land, zoning, purchase price and length of agricultural use.

March 1 timely filing Agricultural classification applications are timely when filed by March 1 for the applicable tax-roll year.
Late filing Duval currently states that late Greenbelt applications may be filed no later than 25 days after the mid-August TRIM mailing.
Field inspection Approved agricultural properties are subject to inspection and periodic reinspection.
Agricultural zoning is not enough. The land must be used for bona fide commercial agricultural purposes. A homesite located on agricultural property is treated separately from the classified agricultural use.
Open Duval Greenbelt Guidance Review qualification factors, application timing and VAB appeal information.
2026 assessment review window

How to Prepare for the 2026 Duval County TRIM Notice

The Notice of Proposed Property Taxes—TRIM—is not the final property-tax bill. It is the annual notice that lets you review value, exemptions, proposed taxes and the formal VAB petition deadline.

Check property now Verify the live property record before the 2026 TRIM mailing.
TRIM period Duval states that proposed-tax notices are mailed in mid-August.
VAB window Florida’s ordinary petition period is tied to 25 days after TRIM mailing.
Use printed deadline The controlling date appears on the bottom right of the TRIM notice.
Tax bill later The actual Tax Collector bill arrives after the TRIM and budget process.

TRIM review checklist

  • RE Number and property address
  • Current owner and mailing address
  • Market / just value
  • Assessed value
  • Save Our Homes difference
  • Homestead and other exemptions
  • Taxable value by authority
  • Proposed millage information
  • Non-ad valorem assessments
  • VAB petition deadline
Do not wait for the November tax bill to challenge your 2026 valuation. By then the normal TRIM/VAB petition deadline will have passed.
Formal Duval appeal route

How to File a Duval County Value Adjustment Board Petition

The Duval VAB reviews appeals involving assessed value, exemption denials, agricultural classification denials, portability and other matters within its jurisdiction.

Save the 2026 TRIM notice. Use the actual petition deadline printed on the notice.
Download your Property Record Card. Duval makes TRIM-related PRCs available through Property Search rather than mailing them separately.
Ask the Property Appraiser for an informal review. Explain the exact value, property-data or exemption issue and provide your RE Number.
Do not let informal review consume the deadline. Filing a review request with the Property Appraiser does not replace a timely VAB petition.
Prepare evidence. Use comparable sales, appraisal reports, photographs, repair evidence, permits, measurements or exemption documentation depending on the issue.
File through the VAB system. Online filing is available when the current VAB filing system is open. Mailed petitions must be received by the deadline; a postmark alone does not make the petition timely.
Pay the applicable filing fee. Duval’s current filing-fee page states that most ordinary petitions carry a non-refundable $15 filing fee, while late, multi-parcel and special petition rules can differ.
Keep paying required property tax. VAB petitioners have statutory payment obligations while the appeal is pending. Failure to pay the required amount before delinquency can result in petition denial.

Tax Collector—not Property Appraiser

How to Search and Pay Duval County Property Taxes

The Property Appraiser determines values and exemptions. The Tax Collector receives the certified tax roll, issues annual bills and collects payment.

Find the correct RE Number first. Copy it from the Property Appraiser record before entering the tax system.
Open Duval County real-estate tax information. Use the official Tax Collector property-tax page.
Select the correct year and property. Compare RE/account information and owner/address fields before paying.
Check escrow status. If your mortgage company pays property taxes, confirm whether the account has already been requested or paid.
Choose a payment method. Online e-check currently has no processing fee for eligible current accounts.
Review processor charges for cards or digital wallets. The specific Duval property-tax payment page currently lists a 2.5% processing fee, with a stated minimum charge, for card, Google Pay and PayPal transactions.
Save your receipt. Keep the year, RE/account number, payment date, amount and confirmation until the online account shows paid.
E-check No online processing fee is currently listed for eligible property-tax payments.
Credit / debit Current property-tax payment guidance lists a 2.5% processing fee. Verify the minimum and total at checkout.
Delinquent real estate The current online-payment page says e-check is not available for delinquent real-estate taxes.
Tax Collector contact: 904-255-5700. Property-tax questions can also be sent to taxcollector@coj.net.
Florida early-payment schedule

Duval County Property Tax Discount Calendar

2026 tax-year timing: Annual 2026 tax notices will be billed in November 2026. The final gross amount will be due March 31, 2027 and unpaid current taxes become delinquent April 1, 2027.
Four-payment prepayment plan

Duval County Property Tax Installment Plan

Owners with estimated property taxes above $100 can elect the statutory installment method. The normal application deadline is April 30 of the tax year.

Installment Normal due date Published discount
1st June 30 6% of the first installment amount
Late first-installment cutoff July 31 No discount; failure to pay by this date removes the account from the plan for that year.
2nd September 30 4.5%
3rd December 31 3%
4th March 31 0%
August 11, 2026: The April 30 application deadline and July 31 first-installment cutoff have passed for a new 2026 installment election. Owners already participating should watch the September 30 second-installment date.
Review Installment Plan Verify enrollment status, installment amounts and current payment instructions.
Past-due tax workflow

What Happens When Duval Property Taxes Become Delinquent?

April 1 Unpaid annual property taxes become delinquent after the March 31 deadline.
Tax certificate process Delinquent real-estate taxes can be included in the annual tax-certificate sale held on or before June 1.
Tax deed can come later A tax certificate is a lien, not an immediate purchase of the property. A separate tax-deed process can occur later under Florida law.
2025 tax status: 2025 Duval property taxes became delinquent April 1, 2026, and the Tax Collector scheduled the 2026 Duval Tax Certificate Sale for May 27, 2026. If a 2025 bill remains unpaid now, check whether a certificate exists and request a current redemption amount rather than paying the original bill amount.
Tax certificate is not the deed. Buying or holding a certificate does not immediately transfer title to the property.
Review Duval Tax Certificate Information Check the Tax Collector’s current certificate-sale and delinquent-tax guidance.
Businesses and rental-property equipment

Tangible Personal Property Records in Duval County

Duval separately assesses taxable furniture, equipment, machinery, leased equipment and other qualifying personal property used in a business or income-producing activity.

Separate search Tangible Personal Property has its own Duval Property Appraiser database rather than the ordinary real-estate search.
April 1 filing The ordinary annual TPP return deadline is April 1.
2026 extension Duval required written requests for a 2026 30-day filing extension to be received before the April 1 filing deadline.
Rental-owner reminder: Household furniture used personally is treated differently from furniture and appliances used in an income-producing rental. Short-term and long-term rental owners should review TPP requirements separately from the real-estate assessment.
Deeds, liens, mortgages & fraud monitoring

Duval County Official Records and Property Fraud Alert

The Property Appraiser’s ownership display is useful for tax-roll research, but the Duval Clerk is the official recorder of deeds, mortgages, judgments, claims of lien, satisfactions and other recordable instruments.

Start with the RE Number and current owner. Save the Property Appraiser record first so you know the parcel and names you are researching.
Open Duval Clerk Official Records. Use the Official Records and Research portal.
Search deeds, mortgages or liens. Use party names, instrument information and other available index fields.
Use free online copies when appropriate. The Clerk says uncertified Official Records since 1988 can be viewed online and downloaded or printed by the user for free.
Order certification only when required. Certified copies and paper copies have separate statutory fees.
Register for Property Fraud Alert. The Clerk’s free service monitors a person or business name and sends an alert when a matching document is recorded.
Official Records Deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments, satisfactions and related recorded instruments.
Free fraud alert Duval monitors names rather than parcel addresses and can alert users by email, text or voice.
Alert timing Duval says matching-document alerts are generally sent within 48 hours of recording.
Official Records office: 501 W. Adams Street, Room 1253, Jacksonville, FL 32202; 904-255-2025; Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Search Official Records Research deeds, mortgages, liens and other recorded documents. Register for Free Property Fraud Alert Monitor personal or business names for newly recorded Duval County documents.
Ownership after death

When the Deceased Owner Is Still on the Duval Property Record

Jacksonville warns that a family member living in a property cannot simply obtain homestead exemption while title remains solely in the name of a deceased owner. Probate or another lawful ownership process may be needed to establish ownership before the Property Appraiser can recognize the new owner’s exemption claim.

Step 1: Deed research Confirm how the deceased owner held title through Duval Official Records.
Step 2: Probate / legal process Determine whether an estate or other ownership proceeding is required.
Step 3: Property Appraiser update Once ownership documentation exists, confirm the tax-roll record and exemption eligibility.
Do not file a false homestead claim just because you occupy the home. Ownership and permanent-residence requirements both matter.
Property Appraiser field visits

Why a Duval Property Appraiser Employee May Visit a Property

Florida law requires the Property Appraiser’s Office to inspect county property periodically. Jacksonville says properties must be inspected at least once every five years.

Exterior inspection Residential appraisers may verify the exterior, building characteristics or improvements.
No interior residential inspection Jacksonville states that its staff does not inspect the interior of residential properties.
Employee identification Staff use marked vehicles, wear blue-collar shirts with the office seal and carry City of Jacksonville identification.
Unsure about a visitor? Call the Property Appraiser at 904-255-5900 before providing information.

Duval search-intent answers

Duval County Property Assessor 2026 FAQs

1. What is the official Duval County property assessor office called?

Florida uses the title Property Appraiser rather than County Assessor. The official office is the Duval County Property Appraiser in Jacksonville, currently led by Joyce Morgan, CFA. The office maintains real-estate records, values, exemptions, ownership information and property characteristics.

2. How do I search Duval County property records?

Use the Jacksonville Property Appraiser Property Search. The official search supports Real Estate Number, owner name and property-address searches. When you know the RE Number, Jacksonville recommends using it because it is the most direct property identifier.

3. What is a Duval County RE Number?

The RE Number is Jacksonville’s ten-digit real-estate identification number. It is used for Property Appraiser search, JAXGIS and many other Jacksonville property-related workflows. Save the complete number, including the final four digits.

4. When is the 2026 Duval County VAB petition deadline?

As of August 11, 2026, the safest source is the deadline printed on the 2026 TRIM notice. Duval’s 2026 VAB organizational meeting occurred August 6, but some public VAB pages still display the prior 2025 September 9 deadline. Do not reuse that prior-year date for a 2026 petition.

5. Can I still apply late for a 2026 Duval homestead exemption?

Duval’s March 1, 2026 timely filing deadline has passed, but the Property Appraiser states that late homestead filing is permitted until 25 days after the mid-August TRIM mailing. Contact Customer Service/Exemptions at 904-255-5900 for the exact 2026 cutoff.

6. What is the difference between market value, assessed value and taxable value in Duval County?

Market or just value reflects the Property Appraiser’s market-value determination. Assessed value reflects applicable assessment limitations such as Save Our Homes and portability. Taxable value is the assessed value remaining after exemptions for a particular taxing authority.

7. Where do I pay Duval County property taxes?

Property taxes are paid to the Duval County Tax Collector, not the Property Appraiser. Annual bills are issued in November, early-payment discounts apply from November through February, the gross amount is due March 31 and unpaid taxes become delinquent April 1.

8. What are the Duval County property-tax early-payment discounts?

The Tax Collector currently publishes a 4% discount for November payments, 3% in December, 2% in January and 1% in February. March payments receive no early-payment discount, and current taxes are due by March 31.

9. Where can I search Duval County deeds and liens?

Use the Duval County Clerk Official Records system. The Clerk records deeds, mortgages, judgments, claims of lien, satisfactions and other official instruments. Uncertified online Official Records recorded since 1988 can generally be viewed and printed by the user for free.

10. Can I use JAXGIS or Property Appraiser aerial imagery as a legal survey?

No. Jacksonville specifically warns that Property Appraiser aerial imagery does not always reflect actual boundaries and should not be relied upon when purchasing property. Use recorded documents and a licensed surveyor when exact boundaries, easements or encroachments matter.

Search tip: If address search fails, try only the house number and main street name. Avoid typing Street, Avenue, Road, Drive, unit numbers, or punctuation unless the official portal requires it.

Homestead Exemption Readiness Check

This helps homeowners prepare before filing through the official county Property Appraiser website.

Important: This is not an eligibility decision. The official county Property Appraiser decides approval, required documents, late filing options, and exemption status.

TRIM Notice & Value Review Helper

Use this to organize your questions before calling the Property Appraiser or preparing an appeal.

Your preparation checklist

Value term Simple meaning
Market value The appraiser’s estimate of the property’s value as of the assessment date.
Assessed value The value after limits or caps may be applied.
Exemptions Approved reductions such as homestead or other exemptions.

Property Tax Bill Direction Helper

The Property Appraiser values property, but the Tax Collector usually handles the actual bill and payment.

Florida timing reminder: Many Florida tax bills are mailed around November and become delinquent if unpaid after March 31. Always verify exact dates, discounts, and payment fees with the official county Tax Collector.
