office


I would like to personally welcome you to our website.


This office has seen many changes since I began my career with the Property Appraiser's Office in 1988.  Our main goal has always been to produce a fair and equitable property value tax roll each year.

My staff and I are dedicated to running the office efficiently, cost effectively and continuing to provide the best possible service to our citizens in a professional and courteous manner

* Hurricane/Tropical Storm Damage *

The Property Appraiser’s office is not responsible for doing any damage assessment reviews from any Hurricanes/Tropical Storms. Reviews will be done through the Damage Assessment Team from the Building Department and they are hoping to have this completed over the next number of weeks.

All calls from Homeowners or Business owners should be directed to the Emergency Management Team on 352-754-4083 to receive the most up to date information OR visit their website at Emergency Management. For those that wish to self-report damage, you can use this link to do so Resident Damage Report.

The Property Appraiser’s offices’ assessment date is January 1st, so any damage that has occurred to property from this storm will not adjust the 2024 assessment value for the 2024 Tax Bill. If, by January 1st, 2025 repairs have not been made to damaged properties, taxpayers can contact our office, and at that time, we can arrange a Field Review for any possible adjustment of the property value for 2025.

After January 1st, 2025, if homeowners had damage to their property and were unable to reside at their home for more than 30 days, they can file a DR-465 Application for Catastrophic Event Tax Refund. Please complete and submit the application, along with supporting documentation of the damage, to either of our offices before March 1st, 2025.

 


The 2024 Notice of Proposed Property Taxes will be mailed on
Monday, August 19th, 2024.
This short video below explains what information is on your Trim Notice each year.




 





Our 8th Annual Animal Services Valentine’s Day collection was another huge success thanks to our wonderful staff.
Many of our staff have pets that they have adopted from there and are always extremely generous in giving back to this awesome county department.

Updated Sinkhole Classifications
 
 
We will be rewording the “Sinkhole Repaired” status to “Stabilization Permit Complete”.  These properties will be identified on our website as a Blue Triangle and the verbiage of Stabilization Permit Complete will reflect on the Parcel Details tab. 
 
Sinkhole Unrepaired status will remain unchanged in wording and identification (Red Triangle) and verbiage on the Parcel Details tab will be “Unrepaired Sinkhole”.
 
Received a nice Thank You note from this year's Leadership Hernando Group.  We always enjoy being able to talk with the group each year and participate in educating new members about Hernando County Government and what our office does.

Through a joint effort between the Property Appraiser’s office and Hernando County Association of Realtors, we have a new interactive map to help the public easily locate properties for sale in their neighborhood.  By doing a Property Search on their own address and then clicking on the new     tab, it will show properties for sale in their area.  By clicking on the actual listed property icon , a photo and brief description shows.  Click the Website link at the bottom of the description and it will direct you to the full MLS listing.

 
The Property Appraiser and staff had a great time at the Y.E.S bowling again this year.    Thank you to all who came and supported this event.
john3 NEW Historically Hernando Walking Tour Map


Hernando County was established in 1843. Brooksville was established in 1856 and incorporated in 1880.  The homes featured in this walking tour are some of the homes of our early families that helped make Brooksville the community it is today.

As a member of one of the earlier families that settled in Hernando County I am happy to be able to share this walking tour with you.
