City property taxes explained
CityofPSL . com / Taxes
In Florida , we don ’ t pay state income tax , but if you own property in Florida , it is assessed annually by the county property appraiser . This assessment determines the amount of ad valorem taxes owed each year on your property . Ad valorem , or property taxes , are collected annually by the county tax collector .

Example Property Tax Bill
2021 REAL ESTATE
Port St . Lucie residents pay property taxes to 16 different taxing authorities , including city , county , schools and other approved agencies . Taxes are based on the appraised value of a property , either business or residential . Florida law requires each county ’ s tax collector to send one consolidated tax bill rather than have each government send separate tax bills to notify each property owner of their annual ad valorem and special assessment obligations . All local governments and special districts in St . Lucie County use this single tax bill .

The Port St . Lucie City Council does not control most of your tax bill . In fact , the City only controls two line-items : City of Port St . Lucie and Voter-Approved Debt ( which paid for the Crosstown Parkway ). That makes up only about 22 % of your overall bill — the other 78 % is controlled by other taxing authorities . |
