How to Appeal Property Taxes in Hamilton County

Florida assessments are made as of January 1st annually. In August, the Property Appraiser mails the TRIM (Truth in Millage) notice. If you disagree with the assessed value or a denied exemption, you can file a petition with the local Value Adjustment Board (VAB).

Florida Property Tax Appeal Process:

  • Audit your TRIM Notice: Review the market value, assessed value, and applied exemptions (like the $50,000 Homestead Exemption).
  • Discuss Informally First: Contact the local Property Appraiser's office. Many valuation discrepancies can be resolved informally before filing a petition.
  • File VAB Petition: File Form DR-486 (Petition to the Value Adjustment Board) online or with the Clerk of Court. There is a non-refundable $15 filing fee per parcel.
  • Compile Evidence & Comps: Gather 3-5 comparable sales that sold near the January 1st lien date or proof of property damage.
Important Florida Deadline: VAB petitions must be filed within **25 days** of the mailing of your TRIM notice (typically late August or early September).
