Dear Taxpayer:
Welcome August!
My office is preparing the 2024 Truth in Millage or TRIM notices. These notices of proposed property taxes will be mailed to every property owner in Palm Beach County on August 22.
TRIM is:
- Your notification of property value
This notice shows the change in market, assessed and taxable values of your property.
- An explanation of any exemptions
Any exemptions or assessment reductions are spelled out on the front of your notice.
- Your chance to have a say in your tax rates
The notice shows proposed millages, or tax rates, for each taxing authority, as well
information about each authority’s budget hearing, so that you are empowered to
participate in the process of setting your tax rates.
We are always available to help you make sense of this notice and property appraisals, exemptions, and assessment caps. An interactive TRIM guide will be live at pbcpao.gov/trim this month, but please always feel free to contact us.
As you review your notice, I invite you to contact my office at 561.355.2866 if you feel that the market value of your property is inaccurate or missing an exemption. Additionally, you have the right to file a petition through the Value Adjustment Board.
Your tax bill will be mailed by the Palm Beach County Tax Collector in November.
In this month’s newsletter, a brief overview of the TRIM notice and an important reminder for those property owners who are permanent Florida residents but have not yet filed for a homestead exemption.
I hope you find this information beneficial and wish you a wonderful month.
