What about Taxes?

Those of you that like to do your research on-line know that you can look up real estate tax information at the Polk County Property Appraiser website. Were you also aware that you could estimate taxes? For example, if you were considering purchasing a home for a value in excess of its current "tax accessed value," you could input the property location & new price & thus arrive at an approximate tax range. This would be extremely helpful for those trying to stay on a tight budget. Knowing what taxes will be, will give you an idea of what to expect come tax time, or what you will need to escrow (along with insurance) in your mortgage. Also consider that you may also file for exemptions that will reduce your tax liability. For a list of these exemptions go to this site: Exemption Eligibility

Here are some additional links that will assist you in the area of real estate taxes:
