The Santa Rosa County Property Appraiser's Office is primarily responsible for identifying, locating, and valuing all property within the county for ad valorem tax purposes. The office is also responsible for administering exemptions, mapping all parcels, and classifying agricultural land. Being the custodian of certain county records, the property appraiser must maintain property ownership records, subdivision plats, ownership maps, sales data records, and prior tax rolls. These records are accessible on our website to provide taxpayers with a wealth of data such as building size, building components, a description of its components, property characteristics, and zoning.
