Welcome to the Volusia County Property Appraiser Website

The Florida Sunshine Laws are designed to ensure that everyone has access to the records maintained by the government. Being a "custodian of records", the Property Appraiser's Office is committed to providing the information in our database to all that request it.

However, there is some information which we collect that is exempt from public records disclosure by Florida Statute. For example:

The identity of the victim of certain crimes; Florida Statute 119.071(2)

Residential addresses for judges, police officers, and their immediate families; Florida Statute 119.071(4)

All applications for exemptions and classifications, income data, and Tangible Personal Property returns; Florida Statute 193.074.

If you have any questions about protected confidential information, please call our DeLand office at (386) 822-5717.

Sincerely,

Larry Bartlett
Volusia County Property Appraiser
