Median dollar gap

Florida's Save Our Homes cap limits how much a homestead's assessed value can rise each year, even while market value climbs faster. The gap between the two builds for as long as an owner keeps the homestead exemption.

That gap does not transfer with the sale. Once a home changes hands, the county reassesses it, and the new owner's taxable value moves toward the current market value rather than the seller's capped number.

A median dollar gap across these parcels is $267,090 — the difference between the market value on the roll and what the current owner is actually taxed on today.

This is drawn directly from Broward County, FL's own property appraiser parcel roll, not a survey or an estimate. The final tax bill still depends on the millage rate and the buyer's own exemptions, so treat this as the size of the gap, not a specific bill.
