How do property taxes work for a Westlake buyer?

Westlake values are set by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser [5]. Millage: 2025 municipal operating millage 4.6000 [3].
Homestead: the owner must live in the home on Jan 1 and apply by March 1 [7].
Save Our Homes: after the first homestead year, increases are capped, at 2.7% for 2026 [8].
Without homestead: residential assessments can rise 10% a year, school levies excepted, and the property resets to just value after a change of ownership [9].
Amendment 3 passed on Nov 3, 2026 and takes effect Jan 1, 2027. For non-school taxes the homestead exemption becomes $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, and the cap on non-homestead assessment increases drops from 10% to 5% [10]. Ask the property appraiser how it applies to your client's move date.
