Civilian disability |

Collier County property search FAQs
What is the official Collier County property search?
Use the Collier County Property Appraiser Real Property Search. It supports owner, site address, Parcel ID, subdivision or condominium, radius and advanced searches.
Does Collier County Florida have a county auditor for property records?
Florida divides these duties among separate offices. The Property Appraiser values property and administers exemptions, the Tax Collector handles bills and payments, and the Clerk maintains recorded deeds, mortgages, liens and plats.
How do I search Collier County property by owner name?
Enter the last name or the first few letters of the last name. To narrow results, enter the last name followed by a comma and part of the first name. Business and trust names can also be searched.
Why can I not find a Collier County address or parcel?
Search a partial address, remove the unit or directional suffix, try the previous owner, search the subdivision or condominium, and use GIS to locate the Parcel ID. Some GIS searches require leading zeros so the folio contains 11 digits.
When are Collier County property taxes due?
Bills are generally mailed at the end of October. Payments receive a 4% discount in November, 3% in December, 2% in January and 1% in February. The gross amount is due by March 31 and unpaid taxes become delinquent April 1.
How do I apply for Collier County Homestead Exemption?
Applicants must generally own and occupy the property as their permanent Florida residence on January 1 and file with the Collier County Property Appraiser before March 1. The county currently directs new applicants to apply in person with the required residence and ownership documents.
How do I appeal a Collier County property value?
First discuss the value and property facts with the Property Appraiser. If the issue remains unresolved, file a Value Adjustment Board petition by the deadline printed on the TRIM notice, generally within 25 days after the notice is mailed.
Where can I search Collier County deeds and mortgages?
Use the Collier County Clerk Official Records search. You can search by party name, instrument number, book and page, document type, date range and available legal or map information.
Are Collier County GIS parcel lines legal boundaries?
No. Property Appraiser and county GIS maps are reference tools. Exact boundaries require the recorded deed or plat and, when ground location matters, a professional boundary survey.
Can I download Collier County parcel and GIS data?
Yes. The Property Appraiser publishes ZIP files containing CSV property, sales, land, building and value data, along with parcel and subdivision GIS shapefiles and available aerial imagery.

10 Ohio Property Tax Calculators & Auditor Tools
Built specifically for Ohio's 35% assessment ratio, current DTE forms, and 2026 Homestead, Owner-Occupancy, CAUV, Conveyance Fee, and Board of Revision rules. Every number reflects verified Ohio Department of Taxation amounts.
Annual Tax Bill Estimator
OHIOApplies Ohio's 35% assessment ratio plus your county's effective millage tier — the actual math your auditor uses.
Homestead Reduction Calculator
DTE 105A2026 Ohio Homestead: $29,000 general or $58,000 enhanced (100% disabled vet, KIA spouse). OAGI under $41,000 required for non-veteran applicants.
Owner-Occupancy & Non-Business Credits
DTE 105CEvery Ohio owner-occupied home qualifies for the 2.5% Owner-Occupancy Credit plus the automatic 10% Non-Business Credit. Most owners don't realize these stack.
Conveyance Fee Calculator
ORC 322When you sell or transfer Ohio property, the auditor collects $1 state + up to $3 county per $1,000, plus $0.50 per parcel. Counties choose their rate.
CAUV Agricultural Savings
DTE 109Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value cuts taxable value dramatically for farmland (10+ acres, or smaller with $2,500+ annual gross income).
Mill Rate Converter
Ohio tax rates appear three ways on auditor sites: mills, percent, or dollars per $1,000. Convert between them instantly.
Parcel Number Cleaner
Ohio's 88 counties each format parcels differently — Franklin uses 010-123456-00, Cuyahoga uses 001-23-456, Hamilton uses 100-0001-0001-00. Auto-detects.
35% Ratio Sanity Check
Ohio law sets taxable value at 35% of market value. If yours is significantly higher, you're a strong BOR appeal candidate.
BOR Appeal Savings
DTE 1A successful Board of Revision complaint typically cuts your value 10–20%. Filing is free and stays in effect until the next reappraisal.
BOR Deadline Countdown
MAR 31Ohio's statutory Board of Revision filing deadline is March 31 for the prior tax year. Miss it and you wait until next year — no extensions.
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:
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.
