Welcome to the Volusia County Property Appraiser Website

Hurricane season began June 1st, and will continue to November 30th. Last year was one of the most active hurricane seasons on record, with a total of 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes, including 6 major hurricanes. This year, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) predicts 10-16 named storms, 5-9 of those developing into hurricanes and 1-4 becoming major hurricanes. Now is the time to prepare; for some helpful tips, check the National Hurricane Center's preparedness page by clicking here.

In other news, we have released our 2018 pre-preliminary values in the Historical Data section of our website. Volusia County property values are increasing, with values up 8.1% over 2017's values. New construction is up over 21%! Click here for our press release, which shows value breakdowns for exemptions, just values, new construction amounts and much more.

Lastly, I am pleased to announce, for the first time in Volusia County, 2018 Pictometry images (oblique imagery) are now available on our website. To view, simply search for a property using our search page, and when viewing an individual property record, on the left hand side, click on Pictometry.

We plan on adding even more features to our website in the future, and will continue to keep you informed on our progress.

As always, please do not hesitate to call or visit any one of our four offices with your questions.

Sincerely yours,

Larry Bartlett
Volusia County Property Appraiser
