Clay County Property Appraiser's Office

One of the hallmarks of a fair property tax system is its transparency and public access to information. Although property tax laws are a product of the Florida Legislature, their transparency and effect on the local population are in large part a responsibility of the local officials. The Annual Report is intended to provide summarized information maintained within the computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) database that may be interesting, if not beneficial, to the citizens of Clay County.

Mike Browne, Vice President, Calavo Growers Inc.
"For any business - what could be better than 80,000 people of all skills eager to work closer to home. Clay County has that and a high quality of life in a safe environment to raise a family.
