Property Taxes

Property taxes help fund essential public services such as police and fire protection, schools, parks, road maintenance, libraries, and other community services. In Florida, property taxes are assessed and collected at the county level and are based on the taxable value of your property.

The amount of property tax owed is determined by multiplying a property's taxable value by the combined millage rates established by various taxing authorities, including Lake County, the School Board, the City of Fruitland Park, and any applicable special districts.
