Palm Beach County tax roll data, updated since estimates were released on May 27, show that countywide taxable property values increased 7.35% from 2025 to 2026, up from the 6.9% increase forecast in May.
The taxable property values are based on market conditions as of Jan. 1, 2026.
The revised numbers, released on June 25 by the county Property Appraiser’s Office, continue to show that all southeastern Palm Beach County municipalities posted property value gains except for South Palm Beach, which saw a decline of nearly 0.5%. This is the second year in a row the town saw a drop.
The southeast county leader is Briny Breezes, with an 11.2% increase. It is followed by Gulf Stream, up 7.8%; Delray Beach, 7.5%; Lantana and Manalapan, both 6.9%; and Boca Raton, 6.6%.
The total market value of county properties is now $551.9 billion. New construction added to the tax roll was $5.5 billion.
Once the Florida Department of Revenue approves the tax roll, the county property appraiser will prepare notices that are scheduled to be mailed on Aug. 20.
The notices provide property owners with information about their property’s assessed value and taxable value, proposed tax rates and local government public hearing dates.
Local governments use the taxable value information to set their budgets and tax rates.
