There is often some confusion about the difference between real estate taxes and property taxes. Many people use the terms interchangeably, but they are actually two different things. In this blog post, we will discuss the differences between real estate taxes and property taxes, as well as how they are both paid. If you are a Jacksonville homeowner, it is important to understand these concepts so that you can budget for your annual tax payments correctly!

Real estate taxes and property taxes are both levied by the government in order to generate revenue. However, real estate taxes are specifically assessed on the value of your home, while property taxes are assessed on the value of your land. In most cases, you will be responsible for paying both types of taxes if you own a piece of property. The amount of taxes that you owe will be based on the assessed value of your home and land.

In Jacksonville, real estate taxes are paid to the Duval County Tax Collector’s Office. Property taxes are paid to the City of Jacksonville’s Revenue Department. If you have any questions about your tax bill, you can contact either office for more information.
