The preliminary tax roll is a systematic listing of
information pertaining to the just valuation of all real

Highlights
• Total market value: $514,083,273,824
• Total taxable value: $318,011,189,076
• Total net new construction taxable: $5,071,916,743

“For the first time in our county’s history, new construction
topped $5 billion,” said Property Appraiser Dorothy Jacks,
CFA, AAS. “This is new value that is being taxed for the first 747-PALM
time this year, adding revenue to many districts.”
Once the tax roll is approved, the property appraiser’s 747-7256
office will prepare the notices of proposed property taxes
and non-ad valorem assessments. This individualized form
shows each Palm Beach County property owner the value
of their property, proposed tax rates and public hearing
information. These notices are mailed in mid-August.
