Fast Answer: Which Duval County Office Holds the Record?

Property Appraiser: owner display, RE#, address, just/market value, assessed value, exemptions, sales, property characteristics and parcel research. Tax Collector: bills, balances, payments, installment plans, partial payments and delinquency. Clerk of Courts: deeds, mortgages, liens, satisfactions and tax-deed files. Value Adjustment Board: formal qualifying assessment, exemption, classification and portability appeals.

How to Search Duval County Property Records

Use this sequence for a single real-estate parcel.

Open the official Property Appraiser Basic Search

Begin with the government Property Appraiser database rather than an office-looking private property-record website.

Use the RE# when you already know it

The official search treats the Real Estate Number as a strong exact identifier. Enter the complete number rather than guessing missing digits.

Otherwise start with owner or a simple address

Use last name first for an owner search. For an address, begin with the street number and main street name and add other fields only when needed.

Remove criteria when the property disappears

The official database must match tax-roll data. When an exact-looking query returns nothing, fewer fields often produce a better result.

Confirm the correct parcel

Match the address, RE#, owner display, property use, legal-description clues and map location before relying on the result.

Check the value year

Separate the 2025 certified roll from 2026 In Progress values. Working values can change during the appraisal process.

Save the RE# for the next task

Use the verified parcel identifier when moving to tax, map, deed, exemption or appeal research.

Search by Owner, Address or RE#

What you know	Best first input	If no match appears
RE#	Enter the complete Real Estate Number.	Search by address and copy the current RE# from the property result.
Owner last name	SMITH	Add first name or initial only if the result set is too large.
Full owner name	SMITH JOHN	Remove punctuation and try the last name only.
Business / trust	Distinctive entity wording.	Search the property address and verify ownership in Clerk Official Records.
Street address	Street number + main street name.	Remove direction, street type, ZIP, city and unit.
Partial street	Partial street wording.	Add the street number or more letters to narrow results.
Condo	Property address first.	Add the unit number only when needed to distinguish units.

Search less, not more: the official Basic Search specifically warns that because criteria must match tax-roll data, supplying fewer fields often gives better results.

Official Duval real-estate database Search Owner, Address or RE#

Use Advanced Search for Sales and Comparable-Property Research

Once you understand the target parcel, Advanced Search can build a group of potentially relevant properties instead of finding only one address.

Filter	Useful for	Check before relying
Sale date	Transactions in a selected period.	Whether the sale date is relevant to the valuation date you are researching.
Sale price	Narrowing a transaction range.	Recorded transaction details rather than relying only on a displayed price.
Qualified / unqualified	Separating likely market transactions from atypical transfers.	Why the transaction received its classification.
Just value	Finding parcels within a value range.	Just value is not the same as assessed or taxable value.
Acreage / heated area	Comparing size characteristics.	Actual property characteristics before using a parcel as evidence.
Subdivision / ZIP	Neighborhood research.	Location differences within the result set.
Property use	Separating homes, multifamily, commercial, vacant and other uses.	That the property-use code truly matches your comparison goal.

Official Property Appraiser advanced database Open Advanced Search

2025 Certified vs 2026 In Progress: Read the Record Correctly

Do not use an In Progress value as a guaranteed financial number. The Property Appraiser warns that working values can change frequently during the valuation process.

Field	What it tells you	Do not assume
2025 Certified	Completed certified-roll value used for the last completed property-tax billing cycle.	That it is the final 2026 value.
2026 In Progress	Current working appraisal information for the 2026 cycle.	That it cannot change before final certification.
Just / market value	Property Appraiser’s market-value determination under Florida property-tax rules.	That it equals taxable value or sale price.
Assessed value	Value after applicable assessment limitations.	That it always equals just value.
Taxable value	Assessment base after applicable exemptions for a taxing authority.	That every taxing authority uses an identical taxable value.
Owner	Ownership information carried in the assessment record.	That it substitutes for a recorded deed or title examination.
Exemptions	Exemptions reflected in the account.	That a recently filed change has already completed processing.

Duval County Parcel Map and GIS: What It Is Good For

Useful map tasks

Confirm the intended parcel visually.
Locate vacant land.
Review nearby parcel context.
Connect an RE# to a map location.
Start general land-use research.

Do not use the map alone for

Fence placement.
Exact legal boundaries.
Easement conclusions.
Encroachment disputes.
A final title or buildability decision.

Property Appraiser warning: aerial imagery does not always reflect actual boundaries and should not be relied upon when purchasing property. Use an appropriate survey and title review when the legal boundary matters.

Duval County 2026 VAB Deadline: September 8, 2026

Current filing deadline: for most Duval County Value Adjustment Board petitions, the published 2026 deadline is Tuesday, September 8, 2026. The VAB says the petition and appropriate fee must be received by that deadline; a postal postmark does not make a late-arriving petition timely.

Online filing is available through the Duval VAB system and is scheduled to close September 8, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. A late petition must go through the late-filing/good-cause process with supporting documentation.

Before filing a formal petition

Save your 2026 TRIM notice.
Confirm the RE# and property address.
Review 2026 just, assessed and taxable values.
Check exemption status.
Identify the exact Property Appraiser action you dispute.
Contact the Property Appraiser for an informal review if useful.
Do not let the informal review push you past September 8.
Prepare the correct petition and supporting evidence.
Confirm the applicable filing fee before submitting.
Keep confirmation of the completed filing.

Informal review does not extend the deadline. Florida’s current DR-486 expressly says an informal conference with the Property Appraiser is optional and does not change the petition due date.

DR-486 VAB Petition: What the Current Form Requires

The state DR-486 is more than a one-page complaint form. Its instructions explain how the hearing, evidence exchange and tax-payment requirements work.

Choose the correct petition reason

The current form tells petitioners to select one petition reason and file a separate petition when more than one reason applies. Listed issues include real-property value, exemption denial, classification denial, property not substantially complete on January 1, certain ownership/control issues and other specified assessment matters.

Different appeal, different form: portability uses DR-486PORT. Tax-deferral or penalty appeals use DR-486DP. Do not automatically use ordinary DR-486 for every property-tax disagreement.

Property Record Card

The DR-486 says a petitioner has the right to the current Property Record Card used in calculating the assessment, with confidential information redacted. The Property Appraiser will provide it or explain how to obtain it online.

If you will not attend

If you want your evidence considered without attending the hearing, the current form says two copies of the evidence must be submitted to the VAB Clerk before the hearing. The Property Appraiser may still respond or object.

Florida Department of Revenue — DR-486 Open Current DR-486 PDF

Newer VAB Evidence Exchange Rules: Do Not Arrive With a Surprise Folder

Evidence exchange requirements changed effective September 1, 2025 and apply to the current VAB process.

Property Appraiser must provide

The Property Appraiser must provide its evidence to the petitioner at least 15 calendar days before the hearing.

Petitioner must provide

List of evidence to be presented.
Summary of witness evidence.
Copies of documents to be presented.
Documents specifically requested in writing by the Property Appraiser when applicable.

How the 15-day count works

The current DR-486 says to use calendar days, exclude the hearing day, and count backward beginning with the calendar day before the hearing as day one. Weekend/legal-holiday adjustments can affect the end of the period.

Build a clean evidence index

RE# and property address.
Petition reason.
Requested value or correction.
Exhibit number.
Short description of each exhibit.
One sentence explaining what the exhibit proves.
Comparable property RE# when relevant.
Sale date and transaction details when relying on a sale.

A VAB Petition Does Not Automatically Stop the Tax Payment

Missing the required payment can cause the VAB to deny a pending petition.

Petition type	Current DR-486 payment summary
Value / portability appeal	All non-ad valorem assessments plus at least 75% of ad valorem taxes, less applicable discounts.
Classification / exemption / substantially-complete appeal	All non-ad valorem assessments plus the ad valorem taxes the taxpayer admits in good faith are owed, less applicable discounts.

The current DR-486 says the payment requirement matters when a petition remains pending on or after the delinquency date, normally April 1 following the assessment year. The normal last day to make the required payment before delinquency is March 31.

Special magistrate recommendation is not the final VAB decision. A recommended decision alone does not eliminate the partial-payment requirement.

Duval VAB Filing Fee: Verify Before You Pay

Duval’s current VAB pages contain inconsistent fee wording. The main 2026 VAB page says a completed petition should be filed with a non-refundable fee of up to $50 per parcel, while a separate fee page still says that most petitions are $15.

Safest action: do not hard-code either amount into your filing plan. Check the online VAB filing system or call the VAB Clerk at 904-255-5124 immediately before submission.

Both county guidance and Florida law provide fee exceptions for certain petitions, including timely appeals of a Homestead Exemption denial. Other statutory waiver situations may also apply.

2026 Duval County Homestead Exemption: Timely Deadline Passed

The timely filing deadline for the 2026 tax roll was March 1, 2026. The relevant question in August is whether you still qualify for Duval’s limited late-filing process.

Core qualification

Own qualifying Florida real property.
Use it as your permanent residence, or the permanent residence of a qualifying dependent.
Meet the January 1 residency requirement for the applicable tax year.
Provide the information needed to establish eligibility.

Late 2026 application

Duval states that late filing is permitted through the statutory period ending on the 25th day after TRIM notices are mailed. The Property Appraiser advises late applicants to contact the office because late filing has additional requirements.

Do not assume ordinary timely-filing methods apply to a late application. Duval’s current guidance tells a late current-year applicant with extenuating circumstances to physically apply and provide an explanation.

Portability

If you had a Florida Homestead on another property within the applicable preceding period, you may qualify to transfer some Save Our Homes assessment difference. Portability is a separate benefit and requires the appropriate application.

Official Duval Homestead guidance Review Homestead Filing Instructions

DR-501 Homestead Form: Prepare These Documents and Details

Property details

Homestead address.
Mailing address if different.
Parcel identification number or legal description.
Deed type and date.
Recorded book/page or instrument number.
Trust name if the property is held in trust.
Ownership percentage.

Applicant / residency details

Applicant and co-applicant information.
Social Security number as required by the form.
Date of birth.
Citizenship/immigration information where applicable.
Date Homestead was established.
Prior Homestead information.
Florida driver license or ID information.
Other residency evidence requested by the form.

What the current form says about Homestead value

The state form explains that qualifying Homestead property may receive up to $50,000 of exemption from assessed value. The first portion and additional portion apply differently to school and non-school property taxes.

Save Our Homes

Beginning the year after Homestead is received, Save Our Homes generally limits annual assessed-value increases to the lower of 3% or the applicable CPI change, subject to Florida law.

Improper Homestead can become expensive: the current DR-501 explains that an improperly received exemption can result in a tax lien, back taxes, a penalty equal to 50% of unpaid taxes and 15% annual interest when the statutory conditions apply.

Duval County Tax Delinquent List: Use the Official Real-Time Report

You do not need to rely on scraped legal notices or pay for a generic delinquent-property list. The Tax Collector provides customizable real-time reports.

Delinquent Parcels

Use this report when your intent is a current Duval County tax-delinquent parcel list.

County-Held Tax Certificates

Use this report when researching tax certificates currently held by the county rather than ordinary current bills.

The same official reporting system also offers the Full Tax Roll. Reports can be filtered and downloaded in multiple formats.

Data disclaimer: the Tax Collector describes these reports as a public courtesy and does not guarantee completeness, reliability or timeliness for every downstream use. Recheck the individual tax account before acting.

Official Duval County Tax Collector reports Open Delinquent Parcel Reports

Tax Certificate Does Not Mean Ownership of the Property

When real-estate taxes remain unpaid, Florida’s tax-certificate process can create a lien against the parcel. A tax certificate is an investment in the delinquent-tax lien—it is not a deed and does not make the certificate holder the property owner.

Do not confuse three records: delinquent tax account ≠ tax certificate ≠ tax deed.

Start with the current tax account.
Check Delinquent Parcels or County-Held Tax Certificates when relevant.
Use the Clerk Tax Deed system only after the matter reaches that process.
Do not infer clear title from a delinquency or certificate record.

Duval County Tax Deed Search: Buyer-Beware Research

Tax-deed files belong with the Clerk, not the Property Appraiser search.

Clerk warning: tax-deed parcels are sold “as-is,” and the Clerk does not guarantee clear title, parcel condition, access or size. Government liens and judgments can survive the sale.

Before considering a tax-deed parcel

Search Clerk Official Records.
Research liens and judgments.
Confirm legal access.
Review parcel condition.
Do not use GIS boundaries as a survey.
Consider professional title/legal research before bidding.

Redemption: the Clerk explains that a property can be redeemed before the Clerk receives full payment for the Tax Deed. Redemption amount/payment is handled through the Tax Collector rather than the Clerk.

Duval County Property Search FAQs

What is the official Duval County property assessor search?

For Duval County, Florida, the assessment office is the Duval County Property Appraiser. Its official Basic Search supports RE#, owner or business name, and property address searches. Tax bills and payments are handled separately by the Duval County Tax Collector.

How do I search Duval County property by owner name?

Use the Property Appraiser Basic Search and start with the owner’s last name. Add the first name or initial only when needed. If a recent buyer does not appear, search the address and verify the recorded deed through Duval Clerk Official Records.

What does 2026 In Progress mean in the Duval property search?

It means the 2026 value is still part of the working appraisal process and can change. The Property Appraiser warns against using In Progress values as guaranteed financial or business figures. The certified column represents the completed prior tax roll.

What is the 2026 Duval County VAB deadline?

The published deadline for most 2026 Duval County VAB petitions is Tuesday, September 8, 2026. The VAB says mailed petitions must actually be received by the deadline, and online filing closes at 11:59 p.m. Eastern that day.

How much is the Duval County VAB filing fee?

Current Duval VAB pages contain different fee wording: the main 2026 page says up to $50 per parcel, while a separate fee page says most petitions are $15. Confirm the exact fee in the current filing portal or with the VAB Clerk before submitting. Certain petitions, including timely Homestead Exemption denial appeals, can be fee-exempt.

Can I still file a 2026 Duval Homestead Exemption after March 1?

Duval permits qualifying late filing during a limited statutory period ending on the 25th day after the TRIM notices are mailed. Current county guidance says a late current-year applicant should contact the Property Appraiser promptly because additional late-filing requirements apply.

Where can I download the Duval County tax delinquent list?

Use the Duval County Tax Collector Data Requests and Custom Reports page. Its real-time reports include Delinquent Parcels, County-Held Tax Certificates and the Full Tax Roll, with filtering and download options.

Can I pay Duval County property taxes with a free e-check?

Yes, the Tax Collector currently lists no processing fee for eligible online e-check payments. E-check is not available for delinquent real-estate taxes. Card, Google Pay and PayPal payments currently carry a processor fee.

Where do I search Duval County deeds, mortgages and liens?

Use Duval Clerk Official Records. The Clerk is the official recorder of deeds, mortgages, judgments, claims of lien, satisfactions and other recorded instruments. Online Official Records include records recorded since 1988.

Is Duval County Texas property search the same as Jacksonville?

No. Jacksonville is in Duval County, Florida. Duval County, Texas uses the separate Duval County Appraisal District at duvalcad.org and Texas property-tax procedures. Florida Homestead, TRIM and VAB rules do not apply to a Texas parcel.

Use the RE# as Your Bridge Between Duval Property Systems

Find the correct parcel through the Property Appraiser, save its RE#, verify whether you are viewing a certified or working value, and then move only to the office that controls your next task.

For August and September 2026, the most time-sensitive action is the VAB window: review the 2026 TRIM information promptly and preserve the September 8 filing deadline if a formal petition may be necessary.
