I just got my tax statement and it shows my assessed value increased 3.74%.  I thought here in Florida they were capped at no more than a 3% increase per year?  I am in Lake county if that makes any difference.

   Edit.  It sure looks like 3% is the maximum.  Florida tax

Off to the property appraiser. My sister got a tax estimate that was over 3% and they fixed it for her.
I assume your house is homesteaded? Non homestead is exempt IIRC.

       Thanks.  Yes, I have been here for awhile so I guess I will visit the property appraiser next week.

    Well I found out why my assessed value went up so much was due to my having a screened enclosure built.  Paid cash to have it built and now I get the pleasure of paying the government every year for having it.  Bastards.

Fkrs tax me $3 a year just for my electric gate.  Then they have the nerve to get pissed off when I refuse to let them on my property to "update" their records ...............................

Feel lucky then, because some municipalities might take the opportunity (you made "significant" permitted improvements) to raise your assessed value a bunch more so that it negates all those years they were limited to 3%.  There's probably a law that says they can only increase the assessment commensurate with the added value of the improvements, but .gov and all.

It is written in the law somewhere that if you pull a permit on the property you will be getting an actual tax assesment appraisal without the 3% protection for that year. I'm sure they just did a drive by on your place and figured the #'s after finding a good place for lunch instead of actually scheduling something with you so they could see it, being the improvement was in the back yard and all.
