DO YOU OWN REAL PROPERTY?
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR YOUR TRIM NOTICE!  
 
2018 property tax assessment notices (TRIM notices) will be mailed to taxpayers the third week in August. Moreover, many county property appraisers have already posted values on their websites. Every owner, tenant, manager, lender or developer of real estate in Florida is provided an opportunity to determine if the values assigned to their real estate interests are real. You may have an opportunity to substantially reduce the tax liability for your property through a tax assessment appeal.

There is a short window of opportunity to file a petition. The deadline is 25 days after notices (the specific filing deadline will vary by County) and typically falls in mid-September.  Click here   for a list of Florida county deadlines. If you do not receive your TRIM notice, you can reach out to your county's Tax Collector's office.

Stearns Weaver Miller can assist with reviewing your TRIM notices and in property tax challenges before Value Adjustment Boards and in circuit court. For more information, contact our team.
