What is the Ohio property tax assessment ratio?

Ohio law sets taxable value at 35% of market (true) value statewide, under Ohio Revised Code §5713.03. Your county auditor must use this ratio when calculating your tax bill.

How much is the Ohio Homestead Reduction in 2026?

For tax year 2026, the general Homestead Reduction shields $29,000 of market value for qualifying owners age 65+, totally disabled, or surviving spouses age 59+ with Ohio Adjusted Gross Income under $41,000. The enhanced amount for 100% disabled veterans and surviving spouses of public-safety officers killed in the line of duty is $58,000 with no income limit. File DTE Form 105A with your county auditor.

When is the Ohio Board of Revision deadline?

Ohio's statutory Board of Revision (BOR) complaint deadline is March 31 for the prior tax year, per ORC §5715.19. Complaints are filed using DTE Form 1 with your county auditor at no cost. Late filings are rejected except in very narrow clerical-error circumstances.

How much is the Ohio real property conveyance fee?

Ohio's conveyance fee has two parts: a mandatory $1.00 per $1,000 state fee (ORC §319.54(F)(3)) and a permissive county levy of up to $3.00 per $1,000 (ORC §322.02). Most Ohio counties charge the full $4.00 per $1,000. A separate $0.50 transfer fee applies per parcel. Filed using DTE Form 100 at the auditor's office at closing.

Who qualifies for Ohio's CAUV agricultural tax break?

Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program lets actively farmed land be taxed on its agricultural value rather than its market value. Eligibility requires 10+ acres devoted exclusively to commercial agriculture, or smaller parcels with $2,500+ in gross annual income from agriculture. Apply using DTE Form 109 and renew annually with DTE 109A. Removing land from CAUV triggers recoupment of three years of saved taxes under ORC §5713.34.

Palm Beach County Auditor Search: Property & Tax Records

Important Florida office-name correction: Palm Beach County does not use a county “Auditor” as the public-facing real-estate assessment office. Property assessments and exemptions are handled by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser. Tax collection and recorded land documents are handled by separate constitutional offices.

Quick answer: use the office that owns the record

Start with PAPA, the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser Public Access system. Find the parcel and copy its Parcel Control Number (PCN). Use that PCN to move to tax, deed, GIS, exemption or appeal work.

Where Palm Beach County is in the 2026 tax cycle

January 1 Assessment date

Property value and exemption status are based on January 1 conditions.

March 1 Regular exemption deadline

Homestead, agricultural and many other exemption filings.

August 2026 TRIM period approaching

Review proposed value, exemptions and taxing-authority information.

November 1 2026 tax collection opens

The Tax Collector lists November 1, 2026 as collection opening.

Current user takeaway: If you are researching your 2026 assessment, use PAPA and watch for the TRIM notice. If you are trying to pay an unpaid 2025 tax bill, that bill is already delinquent and follows a different payment process.

Understand the values and fields in PAPA

Important Palm Beach County property-record fields
Field	Meaning	What to do with it
PCN	Unique Parcel Control Number.	Use it across tax, assessment and property research.
Market / Just Value	Property Appraiser estimate of market value.	Use this when evaluating whether the appraisal is reasonable.
Assessed Value	Value after applicable assessment limitations.	Check whether a 3% or 10% assessment cap applies.
Taxable Value	Assessed value after exemptions.	This is the starting value used by taxing authorities for ad valorem tax.
Homestead / exemptions	Tax benefits currently applied to the parcel.	A prior owner’s exemption can remain visible during the sale year but does not automatically belong to the buyer.
Sales history	Recorded transaction information received by the Property Appraiser.	Check the Clerk document before drawing legal conclusions.
Building data	Property characteristics used in appraisal records.	Check living area, year built, use and improvements for obvious errors.
Taxing authorities	Government entities that may levy property tax.	Do not assume one countywide millage rate applies to every parcel.

Why your taxes can differ from the previous owner

After a change of ownership, Florida law can require the assessed value to reset to market value on the following January 1. The seller may have accumulated years of Save Our Homes protection that the buyer does not inherit.

Homestead property

The Save Our Homes assessment cap generally limits annual assessed-value increases to 3% or the change in CPI, whichever is lower.

Non-homestead property

A 10% assessment cap may apply to qualifying non-homestead property, subject to Florida rules and exceptions.

Comparison tip: When comparing your home with a neighbor, compare market value first. Assessed and taxable values may differ because of purchase dates, caps, portability and exemptions.

Current and future bills

Check Palm Beach County property tax records correctly

August 2026 timing matters: 2026 property-tax collection does not open until November 1, 2026. If you are trying to pay an unpaid 2025 bill now, it is already delinquent and must follow the delinquent-tax process.

When the 2026 bill opens

Normal early-payment schedule
Payment month	Published discount	Practical action
November	4%	Best normal early-payment discount.
December	3%	Confirm payment posts before month-end.
January	2%	Use the amount shown for January.
February	1%	Last discount period.
March	No discount	Gross amount is due before delinquency.
April 1	Delinquent	Penalties, interest and different payment rules apply.

Unpaid 2025 taxes

If the real-estate tax is already delinquent

Palm Beach County states that real-estate property taxes become delinquent on April 1. Once delinquent, the normal online payment method is unavailable and the postmark date no longer controls whether payment is considered received in a particular month.

Call for a live payoff Contact the Tax Collector at 561-355-2264 before preparing payment.

Ask whether a tax certificate was issued The annual tax certificate sale occurs 60 days after delinquency or June 1, whichever is later.

Confirm the accepted delinquent-payment method Delinquent taxes cannot be paid through the ordinary online payment portal.

Use the current payoff amount Interest, fees and advertising costs can make the original bill amount inaccurate.

Submit payment early enough to be received Palm Beach County says delinquent payments must be received by the last working day of the month to count as paid that month.

What a tax certificate means

A tax certificate is a first lien created when an investor or the county pays the delinquent taxes through the tax-certificate process. It does not mean the investor immediately owns the real estate.

Long-term risk: If delinquent taxes remain unpaid, a certificate holder can generally begin a tax-deed application after the statutory waiting period. Palm Beach County explains that a tax-deed application may be filed after two years from delinquency, subject to Florida law.

Review delinquent payment options Understand tax certificates and deeds

Exemptions and portability

Homestead, Save Our Homes and portability

Homestead Exemption

The normal filing deadline is March 1. The Property Appraiser allows E-File, in-person service or a mailed application. Once approved, Homestead normally renews annually while the owner continues to qualify.

Florida permanent residence as of January 1

Title or qualifying ownership interest

Property used as permanent residence

No conflicting residency-based exemption elsewhere

Missed March 1? Do not assume you have lost the exemption for the year. Palm Beach County describes a late-filing process extending into the TRIM/VAB period. Contact Exemption Services promptly for the applicable 2026 late-filing deadline.

Save Our Homes cap

Homestead can reduce taxable value and also establish the Save Our Homes assessment cap. The cap generally limits the annual increase in assessed value to 3% or CPI, whichever is lower. It does not cap market value or guarantee that the tax bill itself cannot rise.

Portability

Florida portability allows qualifying owners to transfer up to $500,000 of accumulated Save Our Homes assessment difference from a previous Florida homestead to a new qualifying Florida homestead.

Apply for Homestead on the new residence Portability is tied to a qualifying new Homestead Exemption.

File the portability application Portability may be E-Filed together with Homestead.

Meet the March 1 application deadline Use the filing year applicable to the new homestead.

Check the three-year rule The new residence must generally be established by January 1 of the third year after abandoning the previous Florida homestead.

2026 valuation review

Use the applicable city for zoning and permitting when property lies within city limits.

Do this before relying on a map

Find the correct PCN Match the parcel number and address in PAPA first.

Open the map or GIS layer Use it to understand the parcel’s general location and surrounding properties.

Check whether the parcel is incorporated A city property may be regulated by a municipal zoning and permit department.

For unincorporated land, contact County PZB Use the county zoning office for official use, setback and development questions.

Use a survey for boundary work Aerial imagery and GIS parcel polygons are not substitutes for surveyed corners.

Buyer and owner warning: Do not approve a fence, addition, pool, accessory structure or other construction project using only the PAPA parcel outline. Check zoning, setbacks, permits and a current survey where appropriate.

Ten practical answers

Palm Beach County property search FAQs

Does Palm Beach County have a county Auditor for property records?

Palm Beach County property assessments are handled by the elected Property Appraiser rather than an office called the County Auditor. Use PAPA for parcel values and assessment records, the Tax Collector for tax bills and payments, and the Clerk for deeds, mortgages and liens.

How do I search Palm Beach County property records by owner?

Use the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser PAPA search. Enter the owner’s last name first and begin with fewer details. Open the matching property and verify the street address and Parcel Control Number before using the record.

What is a Palm Beach County PCN?

The Parcel Control Number or PCN is the unique identifier used for a real-property parcel. PAPA displays it near the top of the property detail record and accepts PCNs with or without hyphens in advanced search.

When will 2026 Palm Beach County property tax bills be available?

The Constitutional Tax Collector lists November 1, 2026 as the opening of 2026 property-tax collection. Property owners normally receive the annual tax bill in November.

What if my 2025 Palm Beach County property taxes are still unpaid?

2025 property taxes became delinquent April 1, 2026. Delinquent real-estate taxes cannot be paid through the normal online payment method. Contact the Constitutional Tax Collector at 561-355-2264 for the live payoff and accepted delinquent-payment methods.

How do I find a deed or mortgage in Palm Beach County?

Search Official Records through the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller. Online document images generally date back to 1968 and include deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments, plats and tax deeds.

How do I challenge my Palm Beach County property value?

First request an informal review from the Property Appraiser. To preserve formal appeal rights, a valuation petition must generally be filed with the Value Adjustment Board no later than 25 days after the TRIM notice is mailed.

How much is a Palm Beach County VAB petition?

The published filing fee is $20 per parcel for most petitions and $15 per parcel for portability petitions. Certain qualifying exemption appeals may have no filing fee.

What is the Palm Beach County Homestead Exemption deadline?

The normal deadline is March 1 of the year for which the exemption is requested. Late filing may be available until the statutory late-filing period, so property owners who missed March 1 should contact Exemption Services promptly.

Are PAPA or Palm Beach County GIS parcel lines legal boundaries?

No. Property Appraiser and GIS maps are useful research tools but do not replace a recorded plat, deed or professional boundary survey. Zoning and development questions should also be confirmed with the applicable municipal or county planning and zoning office.

Information checked August 7, 2026: Property-search functions, 2026 tax-roll timing, office contacts, payment discounts and fees, delinquent-tax rules, VAB procedures and fees, Homestead, portability, assessment caps, Official Records coverage and GIS/zoning contacts were checked against Palm Beach County government sources.

Verify with the official Ohio source

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
