NEWS UPDATE: August 23, 2024

AD VALOREM TAX

You May Be Able to Substantially Reduce Your

Property Tax Liability Through a Tax Assessment Appeal

Who is eligible?

Property owners, tenants, managers, lenders, or developers in Florida.  

When do I need to think about an appeal?

NOW! 2024 property tax assessment notices (TRIM notices) are being mailed now. You only have 25 days from the mailing of the TRIM notice to file an appeal. The filing deadline is included in the TRIM notice and varies by county. Appeal deadlines typically fall in early-to mid-September, for example:



• Broward: Appeal deadline is Wednesday, September 18, 2024.
• Miami-Dade: Appeal deadline is Tuesday, September 17, 2024.
• Palm Beach: Appeal deadline is Monday, September 16, 2024.

What is an average reduction for my type of property or location?

In 2023, we were able to achieve significant tax reductions for clients across all property types. A chart of representative results from tax year 2023 is linked below. The 2023 results are not a guarantee of future reductions in value.  

How do I get started?

Contact us as soon as possible to review your property values and determine whether we can help you achieve a reduction. Do not wait until you receive your TRIM notice because of the short window to file an appeal. If you’d like to learn more about the process, we can help provide you with information and advice specific to your property.
