One of the many things I love about Citrus County is the ability for all our residents and businesses to connect with each other and share information on many different platforms.  Some of you read the various printed neighborhood newspapers each month, view numerous websites, some of you watch the news on your television, listen to your favorite talk radio, or you may get it from the internet or social media.  They are all great ways to obtain pertinent local information.  If you are like myself, you enjoy all of those various outlets.

The Citrus County Property Appraiser’s Office has many options for you to enjoy regarding the services we offer in our organization. Using many different platforms – website, various social media platforms, informative videos, speaking engagements around the county, telephone support, in-person customer service, e-newsletter, print magazines, or various local newspapers – our office wants to assist you.

One of my goals as your Property Appraiser has always been to ensure that the public becomes fully educated about the objectives within our office, especially since this information may directly influence the decisions you make about your business or your personal property.  I know I will sometimes fall short reaching everyone so we are constantly exploring new ways to get our information out to you.  If you have any awesome ideas, I would enjoy hearing about them.

We are continually updating our website with current information.  We are also always improving the availability, content, and accessibility of the services on our website. The website includes many new features. One awesome new feature is the tax estimate on all residential property record cards. If you want to look at a property and determine what the taxes might be if you purchased it, it will give you an estimation. Another exciting new feature is the ability to sign up for our training sessions that we offer each month. We have a session specialized for realtors and another one for local citizens of Citrus County who are wanting to learn more about our office. In addition, with the many storms we’ve gotten over the last several months, we’ve added a new online submission form for any storm damage your residential or commercial property might have received. 

Our Citrus County Property Appraiser’s social media pages are regularly being updated with new content to notify citizens of information you may or may not know about what we do or currently doing, property exemption information and their respective deadlines, updated or extended office hours, information about our staff, and the correct department to call for your property needs or questions. Citizens will also be able to reach our social media pages from our updated website by clicking the appropriate link. As we move toward a more technologically advanced society, we want to reach our community in every way possible.

In 2025, our office will be releasing some very exciting explanatory videos on our website and social media platforms about various topics. For example, the videos will advise the public about the state statutes associated with property exemptions and the necessary qualifications required to be eligible for specific property exemptions. We always want the public to be fully aware of every exemption possible.

One thing that I know is that if you need anything from our office, we are here for you.  It is our pledge to you in the coming year that we will continue to try our hardest to take care of you and your specific situation.  It’s what we do.  It’s the givers in us all.  It’s my pledge to you.  From me, my family, and the staff of the Citrus County Property Appraiser's office, we hope you have a very Happy New Year!
