6/18/25 @ 9:00 a.m. - Hurricane Season began on June 1, 2025. Residents are urged to begin preparing now and one of the ways to do that is by knowing your evacuation zone. 

It's important to note that Evacuation Zones are not the same as Flood Zones. Flood Zones are geographic areas identified by FEMA with a specific flood risk. Evacuation Zones encompass low-lying areas susceptible to flooding and storm surge. Nassau County's Evacuation Zones are categorized from A-K with Zone A being the most vulnerable. Should an emergency occur and an evacuation is needed, orders will be announced by Zone.

Knowing your Evacuation Zone today will help you understand your potential risks and allows you to respond quickly to any evacuation orders that may be issued. We are excited to announce that the Nassau County Property Appraiser's Office has created a new application that allows residents to access their evacuation zone easily by simply entering their property address. Visit evacuations.onenassau.com to find your zone today!

Mike Hickox was elected by the citizens of Nassau County in 2013 and brought with him 35 years of experience as a State Certified Appraiser and Real Estate Broker to the position of Property Appraiser. As a lifelong resident of Nassau County, Mike has dedicated his public career to providing fair and equitable assessments to the citizens of Nassau County. In addition to determining the value of all property within the County, Mike is also responsible for maintaining property ownership records, parcel ownership maps, and for administering property tax exemptions. Throughout his career, Mike has held a variety of roles such as Past President of the Florida Association of Property Appraiser's, Past Director of the Nassau County Education Foundation, Past Director for the Nassau County Economic Development Board, and Real Estate and Appraisal Instructor for the local Association of Realtors.

​John Crawford has served Nassau County in different capacities throughout his career, first as a County Commissioner from 1990-1998, and then again when he was elected as Nassau County Clerk of Circuit Court and Comptroller in 2005. While serving in this role, John has been responsible for a wide range of record keeping, information management, and financial management for the judicial system and County government including aiding in the judicial process, maintaining the County's official records, and serving as the Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners. As the Clerk of Circuit Court and Comptroller, he also acts as accountant and custodian of County funds. 

Terms for Property Appraiser Mike Hickox and Clerk John Crawford end in January 2025. Both have delivered their duties in a conscientious and responsible manner, serving with dedication and distinction. The BOCC commends them both and wishes them the best in their well-deserved retirements.
