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.

Online Exemption Filing
Qualifying property owners can apply for exemptions such as the Florida Homestead Exemption directly through our secure online filing system.

Additional exemptions, such as those for seniors, veterans, or individuals with disabilities, may also be filed through this portal.

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.
