By the way, thanks to the Florida "save our home" amendment (Google it if you aren't familiar) law the value of your home can go up $100,000 but you tax rate is limited to a small percentage over what you paid for it. If your home assessment doubles in value your taxes won't. I THINK (don't know) that this only applies to full time residents? I know you must have a homestead exemption. Our appraised value went up like $30K but my tax increase on the trim notice is like $125 for the year which is like 8% of the OLD taxes with the new rates (which aren't official yet).
