How Miami Real Estate Taxes Work
Miami-Dade County assesses property values annually and charges taxes based on those assessments. The tax rate varies by property type and location within the county.
Tax Calculation Formula
Annual Property Tax = (Assessed Value × Tax Rate) / 100
The assessed value is determined by the county's appraisal district and may differ from the property's market value. Taxes are typically paid in two installments: January and July.
