Overview of the Responsibilities and Functions of the Baker County Property Appraiser's Office

It is a common belief that the Baker County Property Appraiser has the authority to determine the amount of taxes each property owner pays in Baker County.

However, this is incorrect information. The Baker County Property Appraiser and his/her staff are bound by the statues laid down by the State of Florida to ensure a fair value market for properties within Baker County.

Millage Rate and Tax Rates - Baker County Florida Property Appraiser

It is these values that are then used by the Baker County Commission, and other bodies – taxing authorities - as a benchmark for fixing the millage rate. The millage rate is a revenue earning means for all the authorities and the tax rates increase or decrease as a direct outcome of the rates fixed by the taxing authorities. Therefore, the Baker County Property Appraiser does not fix the tax rates.

Setting the Market Values and Factors affecting it

The market values for real estate are dynamic in nature. In order to set fair value to a property requires in-depth knowledge of the market scenario. The real estate values fluctuate due to many factors and Baker County Property Appraisers understands this. Baker County is a prospering city and the population growth is the driver for development. The large scale of development is enough to prompt an increase in the values of properties across the county. The other factors which affect the property market values as determined by the Baker County Property Appraiser are – the size and use and condition of the property, besides improvements to the property site. Selling prices across the entire Baker County reflects all of these mentioned factors.

Other Responsibilities

A very critical thing that needs to be remembered is that the Baker County Property Appraiser is not responsible for the creation of a market or market values but is responsible for ensuring that a fair value is allotted to a specific property based upon the changes in the realty market.

The Baker County Property Appraiser is also responsible for dispensing with exemptions. The most commonly used exemption in the State of Florida is the Florida Homestead Exemption that allows a $50,000 exemption to be deducted from the assessed market value for taxes of a qualified residence.
