Palm Beach Property Appraiser
A Palm Beach property appraiser is an elected official tasked with the annual evaluation of properties in the entire Palm Beach County, including real estate and tangible personal property of enterprises such as machinery and fixtures. The Palm Beach property appraiser records his evaluation on the tax roll that will help determine the amount of taxes due to the county. While the appraiser provides an assessment of the properties, this only serves as basis for the computation of taxes due, and he is not mandated to collect taxes nor implement tax rates.
How are property values evaluated? The Palm Beach Property appraiser collects information on the supply and demand for property, income generated in the course of utilizing property for business and operation costs related to affixed amenities such as garages. Typically, an additional facility supported by a strong economy would increase property values; otherwise a reverse would happen if the economy shows a redundant or negative growth.

Aside from appraising property values, a Palm Beach property appraiser manages homestead exemptions, agriculture classification, disability exemptions and charitable, educational and municipal property qualified for tax exemption. Likewise, the appraiser determines property entitled to capped assessments and eligibility for certain religious denominations. Moreover, he maintains up-to-date ownership tax maps as well as legal descriptions of the real properties in Palm Beach County
