New Evacuation Zones Application

6/18/2025

0 Comments

 
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!

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.

​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.

TRIM Notices and Extended Office Hours for Property Appraiser's Office

8/22/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
Notice of Proposed Property Taxes have been mailed out. This is just a friendly reminder to file for homestead for the 2025 tax year if you haven't done so on your primary residence in Nassau County, FL.

Homesteading gives you a discount on your primary residence by lowering your assessed value by $25,000 to $50,000. This does NOT lower the actual value of your home, ONLY what you can be taxed on. It also limits the amount the County can increase your assessed value by no more than 3% each year. (non homesteaded properties are allowed to be increased up to 10%).

For more information, here is the link to our county's property appraiser website.

The Property Appraiser is offering extended hours for you to come in and ask your questions in person, outside of the normal work week. See flyer for details!

8/23/21 @ 4:00 p.m. - Nassau County Property Appraiser, A. Michael Hickox, made the below post on the department's FaceBook page providing valuable information related to the Truth in Millage (TRIM) notices that was mailed to property owners on August 19th. If you have any questions, his office can be reached at (904) 491-7300.
From A. Michael Hickox, Nassau County Property Appraiser: 

The Notice of Proposed Property Taxes (TRIM Notice) informs the owner of their proposed property values, exemptions, and millage rates for their upcoming tax bill. It states the fair market, assessed, and taxable values. The assessment reductions and exemptions are also listed. The TRIM Notice includes information on proposed millage rates set by the taxing authorities. In addition, it includes times and locations for public hearings being held by these taxing authorities to discuss their tentative budgets, from which their millage rates are set. These meetings are very important, as the millage rates approved by these entities will affect the amount of taxes you pay.

TRIM Notices were mailed out on August 19th. Once received, please promptly examine it to verify that all pertinent information is correct. If you believe information to be in error or if you have any question, we invite you to call and discuss the issue or come in and talk to an appraiser. This process will help us promptly address any concerns you may have. You can contact us at 904-491-7300.

You can access a copy of your TRIM Notice from our website. http://www.nassauflpa.com/

o Use the “Property Search” feature to search for your property then select “GO”
o The populated information will include a link to the TRIM Notice for the selected property.

You can also access a copy of the TRIM Notice on the “Property Details” page by clicking the icon marked in the image below.
