Over my years of service, I have also worked with both local officials and the Florida Legislature to better serve the citizens of our community.

Part of that mission involves assisting the public (citizens, taxing authorities, and local government) in accessing and utilizing the tremendous real estate database, maps, and other associated information which we maintain and update.

The primary mission of the Leon County Property Appraiser's Office is to locate, identify, and appraise (at current market value), all property subject to ad valorem taxes, maintain market value equity on the tax roll, and administer all exemptions in accordance with Florida Statutes and the Rules and Regulations of the Florida Department of Revenue.

This office works continuously to improve our work product and serve the citizens of Leon County in the most professional and cost-efficient manner possible.
