Jacksonville Beach Launches 'Tax Talk' for Property Tax Info

Jacksonville Beach residents can now find information about how their property tax dollars are used on a dedicated page on the city's website. The City of Jacksonville Beach launched the "Tax Talk" page to explain the property tax system.

Property taxes provide the largest portion of the City of Jacksonville Beach's General Fund revenue, accounting for approximately 57% of its funding for Fiscal Year 2027. These funds support core city services, including police and fire departments, emergency services, Ocean Rescue, parks and recreation, street maintenance, planning, building inspections, and code enforcement.

The "Tax Talk" page details how property taxes fund these services. Visitors can see where the City's portion of their property tax bill goes, learn about millage rates and taxable values, and find information on homestead exemptions and the Save Our Homes Act. The page also differentiates the General Fund from the city's overall budget and explains the potential impact of Amendment 3.

City officials encourage residents to visit the "Tax Talk" page for a clear understanding of their property tax obligations and how they contribute to the community.
