What this estimate does and doesn't include.
This estimate uses the 2025 certified millage rates published by the Brevard County Property Appraiser and Tax Collector. It assumes your assessed value resets to your purchase price the January 1 after closing — which is roughly what happens when a property sells and any prior owner's Save Our Homes cap is removed. It does
not include non-ad valorem assessments (garbage, stormwater, and some fire or paving assessments), which typically add a few hundred dollars and vary by parcel. A few neighborhoods sit in special districts (recreation, Sebastian Inlet, Merritt Island Library) that can shift the total by a fraction of a mill. Millage rates are re-set every September. For the parcel-exact figure, use the official
BCPAO Tax Estimator — or ask me and I'll run it for you.

I run the exact tax estimate — plus flood zone, insurance, and HOA math — on every property my buyers consider. That's the ownership cost picture most people don't see until after closing.
