We are pleased to offer electronic access to Internet users. You will be able to view our records online, seven days a week, 24 hours a day, from the comfort of your home or office. You may also visit our office during regular business hours as well.

Whether you visit us online or in person, our goal remains the same: to provide you with "exceptional customer service."

The Sarasota County Property Appraiser's Office values over 280,000 properties each year. More than 100,000 of these properties receive full or partial tax exemption.

Our mission is:

• To provide exceptional customer service.
• To provide taxpayers and taxing districts with accurate, reliable and timely valuations of all property subject to ad valorem tax.
• To administer tax exemptions in a proper and effective manner.

  Click on the Property Record Search button to access five possible searches. By simply typing in a parcel number, you will be able to view a variety of data. If you don't know the parcel number, you may look up the property by the site location, owner's name or instrument number of the official record as currently recorded.

  You will also find a wealth of information regarding exemptions; filing tangible personal property returns; qualifying for preferential assessments for agricultural property; and learning about items of special interest to owners of residential and commercial properties. If you are new to Florida or just want to know more about ad valorem taxation, you may wish to read the section on "Understanding Appraisals".

  Although we have carefully considered the makeup of this Internet site, we welcome your comments on improving it. So take a look around and let us know what you think by completing the survey or E-mailing us. We look forward to hearing from you.

  Please Note: Under Florida Law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public-records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.

  Sincerely,
  JIM TODORA, MAI, CAE
