with such a gigantic tax collection year and huge surplus, why are the tax rates not being reduced? With all the new construction of homes and commercial real estate, the taxes are increased to the value of these new buildings, which is often at least 3 times or greater multiple of the value upon which the taxes were previously based. This will only continue to increase taxes collected on a greater and greater scale, while services should not be increasing on the same scale. What can be done about this? Property taxes are becoming a an ev er increasing mortgage for life for each homeowner.
Hello, thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, our office has no authority over tax rates and millage, which are set by local taxing authorities like municipalities and special districts. Exemptions and property values are handled by the Orange County Property Appraiser's office (ocpafl.org). Let me know if there's anything else we can help with.
