The Tax Collector does not set the property value or millage rate. The Property Appraiser determines value and exemptions, taxing authorities set tax rates, and the Tax Collector collects and distributes the tax. That split matters because calling the payment office about a value dispute can waste time.

Real estate taxes, tangible personal property taxes, local business tax receipt, tax certificate sale, payment methods, discounts, delinquent tax payment and mailed payment questions.

Dariel Fernandez Tax Collector vs Miami-Dade Property Appraiser
The Tax Collector collects the tax. The Property Appraiser handles value, homestead exemption, ownership records and property information.
Contact Tax Collector when…
You need to pay, check a tax bill, resolve a payment issue, ask about mailed payment, get payment method help, handle delinquency or schedule office service.
Contact Property Appraiser when…
The issue is assessed value, exemptions, homestead, name/address update, property record, tangible personal property return, or why the tax amount was calculated that way.
The Miami-Dade real estate tax page explains that ad valorem tax amounts are based on the property’s value, less exemptions if applicable, as set by the Property Appraiser, multiplied by millage rates set by taxing authorities. Some bills include non-ad valorem assessments set by the corresponding levying authority.
Open Miami-Dade Property AppraiserMiami-Dade Delinquent Taxes, Tax Certificate Sale and Payment Warnings
Real estate taxes become delinquent April 1. On or before June 1, the Tax Collector is required by law to hold a Tax Certificate Sale for unpaid real estate taxes.
A tax certificate is a lien for unpaid real estate taxes. It includes unpaid real estate taxes, non-ad valorem assessments, interest, advertising costs and fees. The purchase of a tax certificate does not entitle the investor to the property, but it is still serious for the property owner because interest and costs can continue until the taxes are paid.
April 1: delinquent
Taxes become delinquent April 1, and interest and fees are added. Do not wait until April if you are unsure about escrow or account status.
May 31 online cutoff
The real estate tax page states taxes may be viewed and paid online through May 31, 2026 at 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.
June 1 certificate sale
If taxes are not paid before June 1, a tax certificate may be issued, which can create future property-loss risk if unresolved.
Delinquent payment methods are stricter
For delinquent taxes, the official page says mail payments should be cashier checks, money orders or certified funds, and postmarks will not be honored. If your account is already delinquent, do not rely on normal current-year mailing assumptions.
