Welcome to the Volusia County Property Appraiser Website

The preliminary tax roll has been certified, and values are up across Volusia County. Lake Helen saw the largest increase at 13.2%. Overall, the total Just Value of our county increased by 8.1% to a grand total of almost 60 billion dollars. You can see a more detailed breakdown, along with many other interesting reports, in the historical data section of our website.

Looking ahead, our office will be sending out the Notice of Proposed Property Taxes (aka TRIM Notice) on August 16th, 2019. Now is a good time to make sure our office has your correct mailing address on file, which you can verify by searching for your property on our search page, or you can call or visit any of our four offices. If you need to update your mailing address, you can do so online by visiting our online address change page, or you can fill out an address change form and send it to our office.

We are now officially in summer, but hurricane season started on June 1st. Please make sure you have a safety plan in place. You can find some very helpful tips at the Volusia County Emergency Management page. Stay safe and be prepared!

Sincerely,

Larry Bartlett
Volusia County Property Appraiser
