Ways to pay less

Nothing here applies to every house automatically. These are worth checking:

Broward offers a $5,000 exemption for widowed persons, a $5,000 exemption for blind persons and a $5,000 exemption for totally and permanently disabled residents.
How: The Property Appraiser lists the documents to submit: a death certificate, a Division of Blind Services certificate, or a physician, VA or Social Security letter on the disability.
Disabled veterans: $5,000 or full exemption$5,000 off, or a full exemption
A certificate of disability from the U.S. Government or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is the document the Property Appraiser lists for the $5,000 veteran disability exemption, and a certificate is also listed for the full exemption for service-connected total and permanent disability.
How: Submit the certificate the Property Appraiser lists.

How these numbers are made

Florida tax bills are public, but we calculate yours from public rates and the value you enter.
Property tax: 22.4571 mills in total for Broward County millage code 1912 (Lauderhill), 2026 final rates: Broward County 5.6628; School Board 6.2940 (split into 3.0460 required local effort and 3.2480 discretionary and capital from the Property Appraiser's proposed-millage table) plus 0.1587 school debt; Children's Services Council 0.4500; North Broward Hospital District 1.2391; Florida Inland Navigation District 0.0270; South Florida Water Management District 0.2301; City of Lauderhill 7.3998 operating plus 0.9956 debt.
The Property Appraiser's recap of extra tax-bill charges lists a 'Lauderhill solid waste assmnt' of $435.12 on about 2,640 parcels and a 'Lauderhill storm' charge of $308.28 on about 2,700 parcels, far fewer than the city's 10,073 single-family homes; we could not find a city source saying which homes carry them, so they are not in the totals. Garbage and stormwater are priced from the city's utility-account rates instead; a home that pays them on its tax bill pays them there rather than on the utility account.
Homestead takes $25,000 off all taxes and up to $26,411 more off non-school taxes (we apply the full amount, which every home assessed at $76,411 or more gets). The starting value is the Property Appraiser's July 2026 median assessed value of Lauderhill single-family homes ($231,960); assessed values sit below market ($413,060 median) because of Save Our Homes.
Water and sewer: the City of Lauderhill rate sheet effective 10/1/2025: water $15.29 a month plus $2.32 per 1,000 gallons to 4,000, $3.53 to 8,000, $6.64 to 12,000 and $8.35 above; sewer $24.51 plus $4.92 per 1,000 gallons; stormwater $24.26. Garbage ($17.01) is the city's $81.07 monthly availability, storm water and garbage rate minus the water availability, sewer availability and stormwater charges on the same sheet; the city page does not list the garbage price on its own, so the figure is derived and may be off (the Property Appraiser's separate $435.12 'solid waste assmnt' covers only about 2,640 parcels and could not be reconciled with it; confirm with Utility Billing, (954) 739-0100). We could not find any recycling charge, a city utility tax on water, or a rate sheet effective 10/1/2026 (the figures are the city's 10/1/2025 rates, not 2026 rates); the rate sheet is read from an Internet Archive copy because the city site blocks automated reads.
Electricity: FPL rate RS-1 effective October 2026, $10.52 a month plus 12.258¢ per kWh up to 1,000 kWh and 14.258¢ above (all per-kWh charges combined); typical use (1,104 kWh a month) is EIA's 2024 Florida statewide residential average, not a Lauderhill figure. Not included in the electricity total: FPL franchise fees and any city utility (public service) tax on electricity, which could add several percent to a bill (no source found). Gas customers (TECO Peoples Gas, where available) are not modelled. Insurance is the Florida OIR average Broward County premium including wind.
Electric figures exclude any franchise fee or city utility tax (not modelled).
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
