How long do I have to appeal my Florida property tax assessment?
TRIM notices mail in August. From the mailing date you have 25 days to petition your county Value Adjustment Board, or the assessment locks in for the year. Verify the exact date with your county.
What is a TRIM notice?
The Truth in Millage notice is the letter every Florida property owner gets in August. It shows your proposed market value, assessed value, exemptions, and the taxes each authority plans to charge. It is not a bill. It is the one moment the number is still contestable.
Does an informal review pause the 25-day window?
No. An informal review with the property appraiser does not extend the statutory 25-day petition window. File the DR-486 petition anyway; it can be withdrawn later.
Will an appeal lower my bill if I have a Save Our Homes cap?
Often not. When the cap already holds your assessed value below market, lowering the market value on paper does not change what you pay. Appeal Season tells you that plainly and does not sell you a packet.
