Truth-in-Millage notices, commonly referred to as TRIM notices, were mailed to the address on file with the Property Appraiser on August 18, 2023.  The notices contain the valuation for the tax roll, which is the value on January 1, 2023, a summary of any tax exemptions, and the amount of taxes that would be due based on the proposed millage rates from the taxing bodies.  The actual tax bills will be mailed by the Tax Collector by November 1 and will use the final millage rates as determined in public hearings.

Copies of the notice are available online by searching for your property and using the blue "2023 TRIM" button near the top of the page.

Notices were mailed with a supplement that explains how to interpret the notice and other important information.

If you have any questions or concerns about your notice, use the email a department form or call 941-861-8200.  For the form, you will need to select a department and enter the account number shown on the top of the TRIM notice.

Property and identity fraud are a nationwide problem.  By filing fake deeds, scammers appear to own property, and can fraudulently rent or sell the property without the knowledge of the true owner. Your Clerk and Comptroller, Karen E. Rushing, offers tools to help you protect yourself, and issues alerts about schemes where impersonators act like Clerk or Comptroller employees in an attempt to defraud citizens.  By signing up for the Clerk and Comptroller’s Property Fraud Alert Service, you will receive an email whenever a document is recorded in Sarasota County using your personal or business name. Notifications are sent within 48 hours of the document being recorded, alerting you so you can look up the documents through public records, or dispute through law enforcement. Registration is simple and free.
