Save Thousands on Jupiter Taxes

If you own a home in Jupiter, your property taxes are not just a bill. They are something you should understand. Here is the quick breakdown without the fluff:

Assessed Value ≠ Market Value
Your taxes are based on what the county assesses your home to be worth, not what it would sell for. In Florida, thanks to the “Save Our Homes” rule, your assessed value can only go up a max of 3% per year if it is your primary residence. So even if your home has shot up in value, your tax bill might not reflect that jump. That is good news.

What’s a Millage Rate?
It is just the local tax rate multiplied by your assessed value. Palm Beach County, the city, and the schools all get a piece of the pie. This is how they figure out your final tax bill.

How to Pay Less in Property Taxes
If your home in Jupiter is your primary residence, apply for the homestead exemption. It can knock up to $50,000 off your taxable value. Also, if you are moving from another Florida home, ask about portability. That lets you transfer some of your tax savings to your new place.

Bottom line? Understanding this stuff saves you money. If you ever want me to walk you through your tax bill or help you find ways to lower it, just shoot me a message.
