Tax Roll Preparation & Certification

Each year, our office prepares the official property tax roll, which includes detailed information on property values, exemptions, and ownership. Once reviewed for accuracy, the roll is certified and submitted to the Levy County Tax Collector for billing and collection. This tax roll is essential for funding public services, from schools and emergency response to parks and infrastructure.

Exemptions Administration

We administer a variety of property tax exemptions designed to provide relief for qualifying residents, including the Homestead Exemption, widow/widower exemptions, disability exemptions, senior exemptions, and more. Our office ensures that applicants meet the legal requirements, verifies eligibility, and applies exemptions to reduce taxable property value, ultimately lowering property tax obligations.

Public Records Management

Transparency is a key part of our mission. We manage and provide access to a wide range of public property records, including ownership details, legal descriptions, historical assessments, and parcel information. These records are available through our office and online tools, allowing property owners, buyers, real estate professionals, and attorneys to access the information they need quickly and efficiently.

Tangible Personal Property (TPP) Assessment

In addition to real property, our office assesses tangible personal property (TPP), which includes business equipment, machinery, furniture, and other items used in commerce. Businesses are required to file an annual TPP return, and our office ensures these assessments are accurate and exemptions, such as the $25,000 TPP exemption, are properly applied.

Services We Offer

The Levy County Property Appraiser’s Office is committed to making property-related information and services as accessible and user-friendly as possible. In addition to in-person assistance, we provide a variety of online tools and digital resources that allow property owners, buyers, businesses, and professionals to manage property data, calculate taxes, and file exemptions conveniently from anywhere. Below are the key services available:

Property Search Tool

Our Property Search Tool allows users to quickly look up detailed information about any parcel within Levy County. Whether you’re a homeowner verifying your property record, a prospective buyer researching potential purchases, or a realtor assisting clients, this tool provides access to ownership history, assessed values, legal descriptions, and parcel boundaries. Advanced search features make it possible to search by address, owner’s name, or parcel number, ensuring fast and accurate results.

Tax Estimator

The Levy County Tax Estimator is designed to help property owners and buyers estimate their annual property tax liability. By entering the market value of a property, applying exemptions, and factoring in local millage rates, the tool provides a clear estimate of what your taxes may be. This service is especially valuable for budgeting, financial planning, and evaluating the affordability of potential real estate investments.

Online Exemption Filing

Qualifying property owners can apply for exemptions such as the Florida Homestead Exemption directly through our secure online filing system. This service eliminates the need for in-person visits and allows applicants to upload supporting documents, track the status of their application, and receive confirmation of approval. Additional exemptions, such as those for seniors, veterans, or individuals with disabilities, may also be filed through this portal.

GIS Mapping System

The Geographic Information System (GIS) Mapping Tool provides interactive parcel maps of Levy County, giving users access to valuable spatial data. Property owners, developers, and real estate professionals can view parcel boundaries, zoning information, flood zones, aerial imagery, and other geographic layers. The system is especially useful for land-use planning, verifying property dimensions, and conducting detailed research on parcels.

TPP Filing Portal

Businesses in Levy County are required to file a Tangible Personal Property (TPP) return annually for assets such as machinery, office furniture, and equipment. Our online TPP filing portal makes this process simple and efficient, allowing businesses to submit returns electronically, claim the $25,000 TPP exemption if eligible, and receive digital confirmation of submission. Filing online also reduces the risk of errors and helps businesses avoid late penalties.

Public Records Request

Transparency is one of our core values, and residents have the right to access public property records. Through our Public Records Request service, individuals can request certified copies of property deeds, assessment histories, and other official documents. Requests may be submitted online, by email, or in person, ensuring flexibility and convenience.
