Seminole County has not announced its dates yet. Florida law gives you 25 days from the day TRIM notices mail (section 194.011, Florida Statutes); we publish the exact deadline the day the county announces it.
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.

The clock starts on the mailing date printed on the notice, not the day you read it. Your petition (form DR-486) must be received by the Seminole County Value Adjustment Board by day 25. The filing fee in Seminole County is $50 per petition.
