Access Davie Property Tax Records

Davie property tax records are public documents maintained by Broward County. The Town of Davie does not run its own assessment or tax collection operation. Broward County handles those functions for all municipalities in the county, including Davie. This page covers how to find assessment data, pay a bill, and appeal a value for any Davie parcel.

Broward County Tax Administration for Davie

Davie is a town in Broward County. Property taxes here are levied and collected at the county level. The town sets its own millage rate, but the appraiser and collector are county officials who handle the whole process - assessment, billing, and collection - for Davie and all other Broward municipalities. Your bill will show multiple millage components including the county rate, school rate, town rate, and any special district rates.

Broward County is one of the more urban counties in South Florida, and Davie sits near its western edge. The property mix includes residential homes, equestrian properties, university-adjacent housing near Nova Southeastern University, and a significant commercial corridor. The appraiser's office handles all of these using methods set by Florida Department of Revenue guidelines.

The Florida DOR oversees all county property appraisers. You can find general information on assessment practices at the DOR Property Tax Oversight page. State law sets the rules - local offices apply them to each specific property in Davie and throughout Broward.

For the full policy and fee breakdown at the county level, see the Broward County property tax records page.

Broward County Property Appraiser

The Broward County Property Appraiser is at 115 S. Andrews Ave., Room 111, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. The phone is (954) 357-6830. The office values all real property in Broward County as of January 1 each year. For Davie parcels, that means every residential lot, every commercial building, and every vacant tract gets an assessed value from this office. The appraiser uses mass appraisal methods and comparable sales data to set those values.

The property roll for Broward is large and updated continuously. When you buy or sell a property in Davie, that sale data feeds into the appraiser's system and influences future values. New construction, renovations pulled through permits, and ownership changes all trigger updates to the roll. The roll is the source of truth for every parcel's official record.

The Broward County Property Appraiser website at bcpa.net has a full parcel search. Enter a Davie street address, owner name, or parcel number to pull up the record. The results page shows current and prior-year values, land and building data, exemptions, and sales history. Maps and aerial photos are also available. The site is free and does not require a login.

Davie has a mix of standard residential parcels and larger properties with equestrian or agricultural use. The appraiser treats agricultural parcels differently under Florida's agricultural classification rules, which can produce much lower taxable values for qualifying parcels. If you have a property in Davie that might qualify, ask the appraiser about the agricultural classification application process.

The appraiser's office cannot change your tax rate or your bill amount. Their job is to set a fair assessed value. If you think they set it wrong, that is a separate process - an appeal. Everything else about how much you owe flows from the millage rates set by the county, school board, and town after the value is established.

The DOR site covers the statewide rules that govern all Broward County property assessments, including Davie parcels.

Broward County Tax Collector

The Broward County Tax Collector's main office is at 1800 NW 66th Ave., Suite 100, Plantation, FL 33313. The phone number is (954) 765-4697. You can also visit the Tax Collector's website at browardtax.org for online payment and account lookup. This office handles all billing and collection for Davie property taxes once the appraiser certifies the roll each year.

Tax bills are mailed in November. They cover the prior year's assessed values at current millage rates. The face amount on the bill is the full tax. Florida's discount schedule applies: 4% off for November payment, 3% for December, 2% for January, 1% for February. Pay by March 31 to avoid delinquency. The Plantation office is reasonably close to Davie for residents who want to pay in person.

After March 31, unpaid taxes become delinquent under Chapter 197, Florida Statutes. The collector adds fees and interest. A tax certificate sale follows, where investors pay the delinquent amounts and receive interest-bearing certificates. If the property owner does not redeem the certificate within two years, the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed and force a sale of the property.

Online payment, mail, and in-person are all accepted. The installment plan option lets Davie residents split the annual bill into four quarterly payments. Sign up by April 30 of the year before you want to use the plan.

How to Search Davie Property Tax Records

Go to bcpa.net and enter a Davie property address or parcel number in the search box. The results page shows the full record: current assessed value, just value, taxable value, exemptions on file, and sales history. You can also view a property card with building details, lot size, and land use codes. This is the right starting point for most searches.

For billing and payment data, use the Broward Tax Collector's portal at browardtax.org. Enter the parcel number to check the current bill, payment status, and any delinquent amounts. Together, these two databases give a complete financial picture of any Davie parcel.

All Davie property tax records are public under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. No ID, no account, no explanation needed. You can search and view records freely. Certain exemption application data is protected - Social Security numbers and similar personal details - but ownership, value, and tax history are fully open.

For bulk data or certified records, contact the Broward County Property Appraiser at 115 S. Andrews Ave. The office must respond to public records requests in a reasonable time. Fees may apply for large requests or certified copies, but individual parcel lookups online are free.

Property Tax Exemptions in Davie

Florida exemptions apply to all qualifying Davie parcels. The homestead exemption is the main one. It cuts up to $50,000 from assessed value on a primary residence. The first $25,000 applies to all taxing authorities. The second $25,000 covers the value between $50,000 and $75,000 and applies to everything except the school board levy. File with the Broward County Property Appraiser by March 1.

The Save Our Homes cap comes with homestead. It limits annual assessed value increases to 3% or the inflation rate, whichever is less. This is in Chapter 193, Florida Statutes. In a market like Davie where values have climbed, the cap can result in a taxable value significantly below just value. That is a meaningful saving on your annual bill.

Other exemptions include senior low-income exemptions for residents 65 and over, total disability exemptions, veteran and combat-disability exemptions, and widower exemptions. All applications go to the Broward County Property Appraiser. The full statutory detail is in Chapter 196, Florida Statutes.

Davie also has some agricultural use properties. These can qualify for agricultural classification under Florida law, which sets taxable value based on agricultural use rather than market value. This can produce a dramatically lower tax bill for qualifying parcels. Apply with the appraiser. The deadline is March 1.

Value Adjustment Board Appeals in Broward County

You can appeal your assessed value by filing a petition with the Broward County Value Adjustment Board. The window is 25 days from the mailing of your TRIM notice, which comes out in late summer. The VAB is independent of the appraiser. It has members from the county commission, school board, and appointed citizens. Petitions go to a special magistrate for a hearing. Appeals are governed by Chapter 194, Florida Statutes.

At the hearing, you present evidence that your value is too high. Comparable sales from nearby Davie properties are the most persuasive evidence. Photos of condition issues help too. The burden is on you to show the appraiser is wrong. If the magistrate and board do not rule in your favor, you can still go to circuit court. Pay at least the undisputed portion of your tax while the appeal is open - non-payment can add penalties even if you win.

Public Records Access

Florida has strong public records laws. Under Chapter 119, all property tax records are open to the public. That means assessment rolls, tax rolls, payment history, and exemption records - all public. You do not need to be a resident or give a reason for your request. The online portals at bcpa.net and browardtax.org handle most needs for free.

The DOR public records page is useful if you need data beyond what Broward County offices provide.
