Overview of the Responsibilities and Functions of the Washington county Florida property appraiser’s Office

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

However, this is not the right information. The Washington 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 in the Washington County.

Millage Rate and Tax Rates

After the fair value for a property is fixed by a Washington County Florida Property Appraisal the Washington County Commission and other bodies –taxing authorities - use it 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 Washington 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, the Washington Appraiser requires in-depth knowledge of the market scenario. The real estate values fluctuate due to many factors and Washington County Property Appraisers understands this. Washington 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, and the Washington Appraiser knows this. The other factors which affect the property market values as determined by the Washington County Property Appraiser are – the size and use and condition of the property, besides improvements to the property site. Selling prices across the entire Washington County reflects all of these mentioned factors.

Other Responsibilities

A very critical thing that needs to be remembered is that the Washington 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.
