Ways to pay less

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

$5,000 exemptions for widowed, blind and disabled residents$5,000 off taxable value
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: 20.4025 mills in total for Broward County millage code 2112 (Sunrise), 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 Sunrise 6.0543 operating plus 0.2865 debt. A few parcels sit in community development or improvement districts, which the county's recap of extra tax-bill charges lists separately; we show none for a typical house.
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 Sunrise single-family homes ($272,830); assessed values sit below market ($443,950 median) because of Save Our Homes.
Water and sewer: the City of Sunrise inside-city January 2026 rate sheet: water $25.76 a month plus $4.03 per 1,000 gallons to 4,000, $5.56 to 8,000, $6.34 to 12,000, $8.45 to 16,000 and $10.58 above; sewer $28.66 plus $5.08 per 1,000 gallons of water used (12,000 gallons maximum). The city has three water service areas (Sawgrass, Southwest, Springtree); we use Sawgrass. Garbage $22.63 plus recycling $4.38 and stormwater $11.03 are billed monthly on the same bill. The city's older rate sheets (October 2020 and October 2024) list a 10% municipal utility tax on water; we could not re-check that against the January 2026 sheet (the city site blocks automated reads) and the totals do not include it, so the water line is understated by about a tenth. The garbage and recycling amounts are as printed on the January 2026 sheet; we could not cross-check them against a bill.
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 Sunrise or Broward figure. FPL franchise fees and any city utility tax on electricity are not included (we found no source for Sunrise), so the electric figure is the FPL rate-sheet charges only and a real bill will be higher. City gas customers (Sunrise Gas, $16.75 a month plus commodity charge per ccf) are not modelled. Insurance is the Florida OIR average Broward County premium including wind.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.

Cities bill differently (some put trash on the tax bill, some cover more services), so a higher number isn't necessarily worse. The property tax rate is compared instead of dollars because house values differ.
