Brevard County Property Tax Estimator

Estimate ad valorem property taxes with 2026 certified millage-code totals from the Brevard County Tax Collector / Property Appraiser millage table, plus Florida’s school vs. non-school homestead rules. This is an educational estimate — not a guaranteed tax bill.

Your estimate inputs

City or ZIP can suggest candidate millage codes. Suggestions are not parcel validation and do not prove your tax district.
Rates below are official 2026 TOTAL MILLAGE figures by millage code. Locality names are labels only — confirm the code on your tax notice or BCPAO property record before relying on the number.
Purchase price is a common starting estimate. BCPAO sets just value as of January 1; it is not automatically identical to your purchase price.
Garbage, stormwater, and similar parcel fees. Entered separately and not reduced by homestead.
How will you use this home?
For 2026: first $25,000 exempt from all levies (including school); additional up to $26,411 only on value above $50,000 and only for non-school levies (Fla. Stat. §196.031; FL DOR CPI adjustment). Own & occupy as permanent residence on January 1; file by March 1.

Transparent math — Scenario A

Assumptions & limits
  • Uses 2026 certified total millage by millage code (BCPAO / Tax Collector Millage_2026.pdf). Millage is reset each budget cycle (typically September); next year’s rates may differ.
  • School millage used for homestead split: 6.3020 mills countywide (3.0540 + 0.7480 + 1.5000 + 1.0000 from the same 2026 table).
  • Homestead additional exemption for 2026 is up to $26,411 (FL DOR CPI adjustment). Eligibility is as of January 1; application deadline is March 1.
  • After a change of ownership, assessment limitations generally reset and the property is assessed at just value as of the following January 1 — purchase price is only an estimate of that just value.
  • Save Our Homes (homestead) later limits assessed-value increases to the lesser of 3% or CPI (2.7% for 2026). Non-homestead 10% assessment limitation excludes school levies. Those future-year caps are not fully modeled here.
  • Portability of Save Our Homes benefit is not calculated in this tool.
  • Non-ad valorem assessments are user-entered dollars and are never homestead-discounted.
  • November early-payment discount (estimate): For Brevard tax notices that combine ad valorem and non-ad valorem under the uniform method, the Tax Collector calculates early-payment discounts on the combined gross amount (4% November, then 3%/2%/1%). See Fla. Stat. §197.162 and §197.3632(8)(a), and the Brevard Tax Collector tax-notice insert. Homestead never reduces non-ad valorem. The card’s “Est. Nov. pay” is 0.96 × (ad valorem + entered non-ad valorem) — an estimate, not your actual notice amount. Rare assessments billed outside the combined notice are not modeled.
