According to the Florida Department of Revenue’s Florida Cadastral Mapping Guidelines, the Property Appraiser’s Office is required to establish and maintain an adequate cadastral mapping program that includes aerial photography and property ownership maps providing parcel numbers, dimensions, acreage and subdivisions. Our office manages and stores all of the county’s property records as well. Since St. Johns County is home to St. Augustine, the oldest, continuously occupied European settlement in the United States, our office has property records that can be traced back to the Spanish Land Grants.
Our mapping tool is available on this website through the search property records or search maps navigation and provides high-resolution aerial photography and street-level imagery. These images are used by our valuation teams to accurately appraise properties each year, providing little to no disruption to property owners. The aerial photography is updated yearly as close to the January 1 assessment date as possible, and the street-level imagery is updated every other year.
This department also processes requests to combine parcels and requests for cut-out of parcels submitted by the owner of record and is applicable for ad valorem taxation purposes only. These requests are accepted from January 1 through July 1 of each tax year.
