Broward County property tax is billed by the county tax collector, and Florida bills are due November 1 and delinquent April 1. This guide points you to the official Broward County offices and explains what happens to the tax when you sell a house there.
Who bills what in Broward County
- Broward County Property Appraiser (Marty Kiar) sets the assessed value and handles exemptions such as homestead.
- Broward County Records, Taxes and Treasury Division (county department acting as tax collector) sends the bill and collects the tax.
- The clerk’s Official Records search shows recorded deeds, liens and mortgages.
Due dates and discounts
Florida taxes are due November 1, or when the certified roll reaches the tax collector, and become delinquent April 1. Early payment discounts run 4 percent in November, 3 percent in December, 2 percent in January and 1 percent in February (Fla. Stat. 197.162 and 197.333). Real property is assessed as of January 1.
Homestead and exemptions
Homestead applications go to the county property appraiser by March 1 (Fla. Stat. 196.011). What the appraiser’s pages state:
- Timely homestead filing period for 2027 is March 3, 2026 through March 1, 2027. Absolute deadline to late file any 2027 exemption is September 20, 2027 (s. 196.011(8), F.S.). For tax year 2026 the timely deadline was March 2, 2026 and the late-file deadline was September 18, 2026.

How to sell a house in Broward County when you owe property tax
- Find out what the title company needs. For an inherited or transferred house, that usually means the recorded document that shows who owns it today.
- Ask the tax collector for the amount due in the month you expect to close. Unpaid tax is paid from the sale proceeds at closing.
- Compare offers on what you net after repairs, commissions and closing costs, not on the headline price.
- If you want a fast, simple closing, ask for a written cash offer. We buy houses as-is. See we buy houses in Florida.
