For example, the assessments on the 2025 tax bills covered the service period January to December 2025. For reference, please see Sec. 754.106(e)(1) and Sec. 382.502(b), Jacksonville Ordinance Code.
- Call (904) 630-CITY (2489) or e-mail the City Fees office if you have questions about your assessments.
- Property tax (ad valorem) exemptions - such as those for homestead or veterans - DO NOT apply toward the stormwater or solid waste fee. Property owners billed for one or both fees must pay the property tax bill, even if no property taxes are levied.
