PROPERTY TAXES The Board of County Commissioners and other taxing entities set a property tax rate called a “millage rate” which is used to calculate your overall property taxes. A “mill” is equal to $1 of tax for every $1,000 of assessed property value. Sarasota County has been able to maintain or improve the level of services provided while sustaining the second lowest millage rate in the State of Florida.
