This page covers the four operating property taxes Broward County government levies in the 2025 millage table, grouped by where they apply: the countywide levy (5.6658 mills, paid throughout Broward County, inside and outside cities); the fire rescue MSTU (2.6191 mills, paid in unincorporated Broward County); the unincorporated area MSTU (2.3353 mills, paid in unincorporated Broward County); and the street lighting district (0.3743 mills, paid in parts of unincorporated Broward County).
Paid on taxable property throughout Broward County, inside and outside cities. Estimated change by 2028: −$289.9 million (−16.7%). Homestead assessed values rise by up to 3% a year (never above each home's just value); all other property stays at its 2026 taxable value.

As with the cities and towns, the size of the change depends mostly on how much of the taxable value comes from homesteads. Property without a homestead exemption, such as rentals, businesses, second homes and vacant land, keeps its taxable value under the amendment.
Countywide, homesteads make up 36.6% of the taxable value for the countywide levies in 2026. Within the fire rescue MSTU area, they make up 30.9%, so the estimated percentage change for that levy is smaller. Among the 31 cities, towns and villages that levy a property tax, the homestead share ranges from 1.7% to 76.5%.
The table below shows where the change in the countywide taxable value comes from. The City of Fort Lauderdale has 20.5% of the county's taxable value and accounts for an estimated 9.4% of the change. The City of Hollywood has 8.3% of the county's taxable value and accounts for an estimated 7.3% of the change.

Estimates use homestead assessed values rising by up to 3% a year, capped at just value. Areas are based on each parcel's tax district.
Florida counties also receive money from other sources. Depending on the county, these can include state revenue sharing, the local government half-cent sales tax, local option sales and fuel taxes, communications services taxes, non-ad valorem assessments, franchise fees, charges for services, and state and federal grants. The mix differs from county to county. Broward County's adopted budget shows its full set of revenue sources and how much each provides.
The Children's Services Council of Broward County, the Florida Inland Navigation District, the North Broward Hospital District, the South Broward Hospital District, the water management district and the School Board levy their own property taxes. They are separate taxing authorities and are not included on this page.
Property values and exemptions: The Broward County Property Appraiser's 2026 final tax roll, as published by the Florida Department of Revenue. Tax rates: the 2025 millage rates the Florida Department of Revenue posts for Broward County (2026 rates by tax district were not readily available). Parcel tax districts: the millage codes on the same tax roll.
For each homestead, the estimated taxable value is its assessed value minus the new homestead exemption ($150,000 in 2027, $250,000 in 2028) and any other exemptions, but not less than zero. The gross levy is total taxable value times the millage rate, for the parcels where each levy applies. The budget basis is 95% of the gross levy.
