Disclaimer – Brevard County Property Appraiser

The Brevard County Property Appraiser’s website is maintained as an official public resource to assist property owners, real estate professionals, researchers, and the general public in accessing property-related information and services. Our goal is to provide accurate, up-to-date, and transparent data to support informed decision-making and promote accountability in property assessment and taxation processes.

While our office makes every effort to ensure the integrity of the information presented on this site, users should be aware of the following important considerations:

Informational Use Only

All content provided on the Brevard County Property Appraiser’s website—including but not limited to property records, digital tools, tax estimators, downloadable forms, GIS maps, and assessment data—is made available strictly for general informational purposes.

While we strive to ensure accuracy and timely updates, this content should not be relied upon as a substitute for:

  • Official legal documents or certified public records
  • Professional legal, financial, or real estate advice
  • Official communications from the Property Appraiser’s Office

Users are advised to consult with qualified professionals or contact our office directly when making legal filings, financial commitments, or property-related decisions.

This website does not guarantee that all data presented is current or legally binding. Any discrepancies or concerns should be verified with our office prior to use in any formal or legal capacity.

For certified documents, official records, or in-depth assistance, please submit a formal request or visit one of our branch offices.

No Legal, Financial, or Professional Advice

The information and resources provided by the Brevard County Property Appraiser’s Office—whether on this website, in printed materials, or through public outreach—are not intended to serve as legal, financial, or professional advice.

While our office is committed to transparency and public education, we do not provide guidance or consultation services in the following areas:

  • Legal Matters: For issues involving property rights, ownership disputes, title transfers, or estate planning, consult a qualified real estate attorney or legal professional.
  • Tax Planning: For advice related to income tax impacts, depreciation schedules, or investment strategy, contact a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or licensed tax advisor.
  • Real Estate Investment: For property valuation forecasts, purchase decisions, or return-on-investment analysis, speak with a licensed real estate broker or agent.
  • Zoning & Land Use: For clarifications regarding zoning classifications, land use restrictions, or permitting requirements, refer to the appropriate city or county zoning office.

Relying solely on the data and tools available on this website—such as valuation estimates, exemption listings, or GIS maps—for critical legal, financial, or real estate decisions is strongly discouraged. These materials are for reference only and may not reflect the full legal or financial implications of a specific situation.

Users are encouraged to seek independent, professional counsel before making decisions that could have legal, financial, or regulatory consequences.

Data Accuracy and Limitations

The Brevard County Property Appraiser’s Office is committed to maintaining an accurate and up-to-date public information system. However, due to the dynamic nature of property data and the complexity of legal and administrative processes, certain limitations and disclaimers must be noted when using this website.

Data Updates and Changes

Property data is subject to continuous change based on a variety of factors, including:

  • Real estate transactions (sales, transfers of ownership)
  • Legal proceedings such as divorces, foreclosures, or probate
  • Changes to exemption eligibility or application status
  • Property improvements, demolitions, or reclassifications
  • Adjustments resulting from appeals or revisions to assessments

While updates are made regularly, there may be a lag between real-world changes and the time they are reflected on the website. Users are encouraged to verify time-sensitive information with staff when accuracy is critical.

GIS Maps and Visual Tools

Mapping tools and parcel boundary overlays available through the GIS (Geographic Information System) interface are provided for visual reference only. These maps:

  • Are not drawn to survey precision
  • May not reflect exact parcel dimensions or boundary lines
  • Should not be used for legal descriptions, development planning, or engineering purposes

For survey-grade mapping, users should consult a licensed land surveyor or engineer.
