I rec'd the revised bills for our 2 properties in SoWal today and they are really strange.
The appraisal for the property in Seacrest Beach did not change (at all) and the tax bill went down whether the proposed changes are made or not.
The appraisal for the condo in Seagrove went up by $90,000 and the tax bill went up as well (again, whether the proposed changes are made or not.)
The house in Seacrest is easily worth twice what the condo in Seagrove is, yet it is appraised at $26,000 less than the condo.
If the proposed changes are made, my overall tax bill increases by about $700.
If the proposed changes are not made, my overall tax bill decreases by about $700.
Gonna be interesting to hear the explanation for this.

Ours, also, were a little strange. The market value of the house we live in doubled, but our taxes went down with and without the proposed budget change. We've owned the house for 3 years.
The market value of our rental house in Seagrove has gone up by about a third (which is very low compared to regular market value). The taxes go up by a couple of grand with the proposed budget and about $100 without the budget change. We've owned the house for more than 5 years.
The market value of a small, relatively inexpensive lot we purchased just last year has more than doubled and so have the taxes with the proposed budget.
Sounds like we've got to look into what is going into this proposed budget! According to our notices, there is a public hearing on the proposed budget on Sept 6th and Sept 12th in DeFuniak. Perhaps we should all show up and voice our concern.
