Tax Roll Submission
Each year in April we start at the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s website for information on newly formed districts. Then we reach out to our district management contacts for updated contact information.
At the end of April, we send the updated district contacts a letter and a copy via email with a list of the previous years' non-ad tax roll in digital format to assist them in preparation of each district’s new roll.
If any district needs updated district boundary or parcel info or would like to be included in the county’s TRIM notice they make a request to Mark Whitaker, Senior Database Administrator, at mwhi@property-appraiser.org or 407-742-5000 to obtain an additional file from the Property Appraiser’s office. They will assist them with updated district information, parcels, & owners.
If you are levying an assessment to be collected through the uniform method of collection for the first time, please be sure to contact the Property Appraiser and Tax Collector offices to enter into an agreement with their respective office. The Osceola County Office of Management & Budget (OMB) will need a copy of each executed agreement by August 1, in order to accept the certified tax roll.
District TRIM Notice
All entities who have an Interlocal Agreement with Osceola County are no longer required to utilize the TRIM notice process.

Once you have discussed placing your assessment roll on the TRIM notice with Kenny, please send the following information by July 5, 2024, via email at Submissions@osceola.org.

District Tax Roll
Florida Statute requires that the non-ad-valorem assessment roll is certified to the Tax Collector by September 15th of each year; therefore, to allow sufficient time for OMB to comply with this statutory requirement, I must have each of your final assessment roll(s) by August 23, it is crucial that you meet this deadline to ensure inclusion in the certified non-ad-valorem assessment roll.
Please submit the following information for each respective districts’ roll in your final adopted assessment roll by August 23, as noted above. Any necessary changes to the submission will need to be sufficiently completed and submitted no later than August 31st in compliance with Florida Statute 190.021 (2).
