A Message From Your Property Appraiser

Over the past year, the local market continued to transition away from the rapid price growth experienced in the early 2020s to a more balanced and sustainable pace. Higher interest rates and ongoing affordability challenges tempered buyer activity, contributing to fewer sales and longer listing times. These factors helped moderate the rate of price increases. At the same time, limited new construction and the pace of existing home turnover kept housing supply relatively tight. Taken together, these trends suggest a market that is stabilizing rather than declining.

Our office remains committed to producing fair and equitable assessments guided by Florida Statutes and overseen by the Florida Department of Revenue. We also continue to monitor discussions surrounding property tax reform proposals, staying informed and prepared to implement any statutory changes enacted into law.

It is a privilege to serve Leon County. I encourage you to contact our office if we may assist you.
