What will proposed rates for property taxes mean for your 2021 tax bill?

We’ve compiled city-by-city guides for Broward and Miami-Dade counties, based on proposed property-tax rates (known as “millages”) and average real estate values in each municipality.

Miami-Dade

Broward

These dollar amounts only apply to the average taxable values we calculated for each municipality, using data provided by the Office of the Property Appraiser in each county. If you own a property, you can look up your exact projected tax bill by checking your Truth in Millage (TRIM) notice, which are mailed in August and available online for Broward properties and for Miami-Dade properties.

Note: In our Broward guide, “NH” indicates the part of the municipality in the North Hospital taxing district, and “SH” indicates the part of the municipality in the South Hospital district. Some municipalities only fall in one hospital district.

Two caveats to these guides: The property-tax rates may end up lower than the proposed rates used in this guide, as local governments can set final rates below the proposed rates but not above them. And final rates are set by Oct. 1, with most votes coming in September after public hearings.
