If you are asking about the tax assessed value for real property taxes, that is based upon the fair market value of the property. You should ask the local county's property appraiser's office for the calculation.
If you are asking about the amount upon which documentary stamp tax would be based for the transfer, the Florida Department of Revenue would seek tax based upon the consideration being exchanged. If this is unencumbered property for no consideration, then only nominal (i.e., 70 cents) documentary stamp tax would be due.
