The Santa Rosa County Property Appraiser is primarily responsible for identifying locating and valuing all property within the county for ad valorem tax purposes. He is also responsible for administering exemptions, mapping all parcels and classifying agricultural lands.

Being custodian of certain county records he must maintain property record cards, subdivision plats, ownership maps, sales data records and prior tax rolls. From these records one can access our files and determine building size, a description of its components, property characteristics and zoning.

The Property Appraiser's office is a primary source of information and they share this data and information with numerous persons on a daily basis.
