November 2022 | Issue No. 6 Newsletter

Dear Taxpayer:

It feels like the year barley just started, but here we are finishing up the 2022 year. We have conquered a lot this year. We started Value Adjustment Board hearings in October, certified our 2022 tax roll and now we move forward with preparing our 2023 assessments.

The Citrus County Tax Collector, Janice A. Warren is now accepting tax bill payments as of today, November 1, 2022. If you pay during the month of November, you will receive a 4% discount. All tax bills need to be paid by March 31, 2023. Make sure to make all payments out to her office. Janice A. Warren, Citrus County Tax Collector. 210 N. Apopka Ave. Suite 100 Inverness, FL 34450

On the November 2022 ballot, you will have the option to vote on Amendment 1 which would Disregard Flood Resistance Improvements in Property Value Assessments and on Amendment 3 which would allow an Additional Homestead Property Tax Exemption for Certain Public Service Workers. Potentially both amendments could affect property values and benefits in Citrus County. Below we have included some information about those proposed amendments. 

Recently, I attended the Florida Association of Property Appraisers (FAPA) annual conference. Property Appraisers from around the state nominated and voted me, the Citrus County Property Appraiser to be their next President.

My staff and I have worked extremely hard since I was sworn in as the 14th Citrus County Property Appraiser for the property owners of Citrus County to receive this huge honor. Now, I will share my institutional knowledge and servant leadership with the rest of the state. It is very important to me that the state’s other Property Appraisers work together. I will continue to use my high energy leadership for the betterment of the FAPA organization. I was honored to be nominated and honored to be selected to serve in this capacity. In addition, I have also been selected to serve on the Florida International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) Administrative Steering committee for the second year in a row. 

Make sure to look for our office during the Veterans Day Parade in downtown Inverness on Friday, November 11, 2022. I would like to personally thank all of our Veterans for their service.

I am looking forward to spending the season with my CCPA family. I hope you have a peaceful and safe holiday season, and we are here to help if you need us. Check back next month for our December e-newsletter.

Respectfully,
