Redesigned Property Tax Notice Unveiled

Upon receipt of your tax bill you will notice additional exemption information in the Ad Valorem Taxes section.  An exemption column was added to this section to show which exemptions apply to certain taxing districts.  An example of the varying amounts for an exemption is the senior citizen exemption.  Certain seniors who are 65 or older may be eligible for up to an additional $50,000 property tax exemption.  The additional benefit is provided by the following authorities:

$50,000
Town of Haverhill
Town of Loxahatchee Groves
Village of Wellington

$25,000
Palm Beach County
City of Boynton Beach
City of Lake Worth
Town of Lantana
City of Palm Beach Gardens
Village of Palm Springs

$5,000

Income guidelines apply; contact the Property Appraiser’s Office at (561) 355-2866 for additional information on this and other exemptions.

A sample of the new bill with a description of each section can be found at http://www.pbcgov.com/tax/pdf/2011understanding_tax_notice_102010.pdf
