How many Florida homes look over-assessed?
We ran Florida homes through the same public-records analysis our free tool uses. Most homesteads are protected by the Save Our Homes cap, so their appeal outlook is limited. Among the homes we could actually evaluate, a smaller share look over-assessed. Here is what the records show, county by county.
The Save Our Homes cap holds a homestead's assessed value below its market value over time. When a home is capped, lowering its market value usually will not lower the tax bill, so an appeal often will not help. This is honest news, not a problem: it means most owners do not need to appeal.
How we measure this
We take a random sample of homesteads in each county from public property records, then score each one with the same deterministic engine behind our free check. A home counts as "capped" when the Save Our Homes limit already holds its assessed value below market value. A home counts as "appears over-assessed" when its assessed value sits meaningfully above what comparable qualified sales support. We report the share among the homes we could evaluate, and we show the number we sampled and a 95 percent confidence range so you can see how firm each figure is. We never claim a home is over-assessed. We report what the public records appear to show, and only the county property appraiser and the value adjustment board decide.
| County | Homes evaluated | Appear capped | Appear over-assessed | 95% range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Broward | 198 of 1000 | 80% | 20% | 15–26% |
| Lee | 261 of 1000 | 74% | 11% | 8–15% |
| Miami-Dade | 220 of 1000 | 78% | 34% | 28–40% |
| Palm Beach | 203 of 1000 | 79% | 7% | 5–12% |
