For home buyers in Tampa Bay: Pinellas County Property Appraisers 2009 Data is Now Available
The Pinellas County Property Appraiser’s office has just updated their database with preliminary values for 2009. It’s no surprise that property values have decreased across the board.
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.
