How the appeal process works in Florida

Florida counties mail a TRIM notice (Truth in Millage) in August, and a petition to the county Value Adjustment Board is due 25 days after the notice is mailed. Petitions are typically heard by a special magistrate, and many resolve on the evidence or in an informal conference with the property appraiser first. Non-homestead assessments can rise up to 10% a year, so a value that starts high keeps compounding — a reduction applies to that tax year, which is why it is worth filing in every year the assessment is wrong.

Can an appeal raise my assessment?

It can happen — in Florida the property appraiser may revise a value upward where a factual error in the physical record is discovered during the appeal (Fla. Admin. Code R. 12D-9.025(6)(c)). That's why we check for that exposure before filing: we don't file when we see it, and if it surfaces after filing we withdraw.

Fair questions.
