Sick of High Property Taxes in Bradenton? 😤
Want to lower them? Here’s how.
At Manatee, we’ve been investing in real estate around Bradenton and Sarasota for quite some time now — and we’ve learned a few insider tricks for reducing those obnoxiously high property tax bills.
Here are some tips that could save you real money 💸:
📝 1. Request Your Property Tax Card
Head to your local assessor’s office and ask for your property tax card.
It outlines how your home was assessed — and sometimes, it’s riddled with errors (like extra bathrooms, incorrect square footage, or wrong condition ratings).
Spot a mistake? Dispute it!
🏘️ 2. Review Comparable Properties
Look at how similar homes nearby have been assessed.
If they’re valued lower but are just as nice as yours (or nicer), you may have grounds to challenge your assessment and negotiate a lower tax rate.
👀 3. Walk the Property With the Assessor
Don’t leave during the assessor’s visit.
This is your chance to point out any flaws — roof damage, aging HVAC, foundation cracks — anything that could lower your home’s appraised value.
Otherwise, they’ll only see the highlights.
🏷️ 4. Look Into Exemptions
You may qualify for property tax exemptions if you’re a:
- Senior citizen
- Veteran
- Person with a disability
- Owner of an agricultural or homestead property
Make sure you’re not missing out on tax breaks you deserve!
