This chart shows how market values in Brevard County followed the real estate sales boom to 2006 and the subsequent bubble burst. The split in non-school taxable/school taxable values in 2007 is a result of the voter-approved additional $25,000 Homestead Exemption to qualified homeowners. Savings as a result of the Save Our Homes (SOH) cap reached near $0 when values bottomed out in 2012. A tick upwards indicates that homeowners’ assessed values are again being capped well below market value per Florida law.

This chart shows the difference between Total Market Value and Total Assessed Value* of all properties with a Homestead Exemption (represented as a disparity gap). This difference results in ad valorem ('based on value') property tax savings. At the height of the real estate boom when market values skyrocketed, the disparity gap was over $14.5 billion, but assessed values were increasing only 3% a year. By 2012, with market values decreasing, the disparity gap closed to within a half-billion dollars. Since the 2012 low point, the chart shows another widening disparity gap.
*Assessed value is the capped market value due to Save Our Homes.
