Ad Valorem Calculator

Important things to know about your fire assessment:
☑️ The fire assessment is the District's primary source of revenue.
☑️ The West Manatee Fire & Rescue District receives no funds from county taxes.

 

Non-ad valorem assessment rates set by the board may exceed the maximum rates established by the previous year’s resolution or referendum in an amount not to exceed the average annual growth rate in Florida personal income over the previous 5 years.

Millage Calculator
Please use the millage tax calculator below to determine the ad-valorem amount for a parcel. The calculator will calculate the millage at two possible amounts: one mill (1) and one-half mill (.5). The maximum millage limitation is one mill or $1 per every $1,000 of taxable value.  
The calculator shows the 2025 fire assessment for the parcel.
The total amount shows the proposed ad-valorem amount based on 2025 taxable values, plus the current amount based on the 2025 fire assessment.
If you have any questions or need assistance using the calculator, please submit the contact form, and we will help you.  The calculator does not contain information for parcels exempt by Section 119.071 of Florida Statutes.
To request a neighborhood, HOA, or general presentation on the facts with a question and answer session with Fire Chief Ben Rigney, please complete the Contact Form or email admin@wmfr.org.

This tool estimates the Proposed Ad Valorem Assessment Cap using the parcel’s Taxable Value from Tax Year 2025. Results are for informational purposes only and are not an official tax bill, assessment, or legal advice. Actual amounts may differ due to exemptions, corrections, or changes to values and rates.

Millage is a tax rate defined as the dollars assessed for each $1,000 of value. One mill is one dollar per $1,000 of assessed value. The District’s ad valorem authorization request limits the amount of millage the District may levy against property owners to no more than 1 mill. The impact of the proposed millage rate to a property owner can be calculated using the following mathematical equation: Taxable value ÷ 1,000 × millage rate = Tax Owed.
