For home buyers in Tampa Bay: Pinellas County Property Appraisers 2009 Data Now Available
Many homeowners who have the homestead exemption believe their taxes should go down because their tax-assessed values went down.
However a loophole in the homestead law allows the tax-assessed value to increase a maximum of 3% if it’s less than the assessed value so a particular property tax may actually increase.
The property appraisers website can be accessed at www.pcpao.org. Look for “Search Our Database” then enter your property information.
Hope this helps.
