North Port property tax: where it goes

A North Port house pays 1.434% of its taxable value in property tax, plus flat charges on the same bill. For a house at $362,500 of market value with the homestead exemption, that's about $5,328 a year.

Tax is levied on taxable value: assessed value minus exemptions (Save Our Homes limits yearly increases in a homestead's assessed value to 3% or CPI, whichever is less).

The Sarasota County Tax Collector's combined 2026 millage table is not posted yet (its latest is the 2025 table certified 10/03/2025).
