Gain an Edge Over Competing Home Buyers with a Pre-Approval

About Property Tax

Understanding Martin County Property Taxes

Property Tax EstimatorWhat's the tax? Estimate the tax payment on your new home. This estimated property tax calculator is directly connected to the Martin County Property Appraiser's website. Note from the Property Aprraiser: "The purchase of a property in foreclosure may or may not be considered a market value indication in determining your property tax. If the property is purchased by forced sale at an auction on the courthouse steps, it is not likely a market value indication. If the property was purchased as a "short sale" negotiated between a buyer and seller and approved by the lender, it is likely to be considered a market value indication. it is only an estimate of what you might expect to pay for your tax bill in the year following your purchase."
