A typical Sarasota County
property owner, with a primary residence assessed at $300,000
and who has taken the homestead exemption of $50,000 (residents
only receive a $25,000 exemption applied to the Public School
Board), with $250,000 taxable value ($275,000 for the Public
School Board) (millage rates applied per $1,000 of taxable
value), would expect to pay $3,457.22 for their tax bill in
FY10, not including special assessment districts.*

* Special Assessment Districts
may include assessments for Fire, Lighting, Water, Sewer, Solid
Waste and Stormwater. As
this chart shows, Sarasota County government is only one of
several agencies that collect property taxes. In fact, Sarasota
County government represents only about 23 percent of the total
tax bill in this example, or 29% if Emergency Medical Services,
Mosquito Control and County Debt are included.
