How it works
How a Florida property tax appeal works
Our 2025 statewide scan reviewed 7,617,151 single-family homes across all 67 Florida counties and identified an estimated $32M a year in over-assessment. Checking one home by hand is a weekend in county records — here is how the process runs when that weekend is ours, not yours.
- 01
We identify your parcel
From your address we pull your county Property Appraiser record: assessed value, just/market value, exemptions on file, and the year of the last review.
The part that turns into a Saturday on the county website is already done.
- 02
We gather comparable sales
We collect recent sales of similar homes near yours — square footage, year built, lot size, neighborhood — and compute what the market says your property is worth.
Comparable evidence is what the Value Adjustment Board weighs most.
- 03
We score the active evidence
Comparable sales adjusted for recorded square footage when the data supports it, documented flood location, age-based condition signals and recent sales — the report shows what the current model scored. Size adjusts the comps; it is not scored separately.
You see where the case is strong and where it is not, before you pay.
- 04
You get one evidence report
The county's number, how the active evidence scores, and the arithmetic in between — one file, plus your county's official Value Adjustment Board petition form. You complete it, sign it and file it — you are the petitioner.
No weekend in county records, no hunting for the right form.
- 05
You file before the deadline
You have 25 days from the date on your TRIM Notice. File with your county VAB, pay the county filing fee — most Florida counties now charge $50, and the amount is on your county VAB page — and present the evidence.
The deadline is strict; the evidence report arrives in time for you to complete and file it.
- 06
The board rules
A special magistrate reviews the evidence. If they accept the analysis, your assessed value drops and the saving lands on that year's bill.
If the board lowers the value, the saving shows up directly on your next tax bill.
What you get
Your county record, pulled and checked
Assessed value, just/market value, exemptions on file, last review year — straight from the county roll, so you skip the records search.
Your active evidence scored
Recent comparable sales adjusted for recorded square footage when the data supports it, documented flood location, age-based condition signals and any recent sale — so you see what evidence the current model did and did not score. Recorded size adjusts the sales comparison; it is not a separate score.
One evidence report, plus the official form
Everything side by side in a single evidence report, with your county's Value Adjustment Board petition form — you complete it, sign it and file it.
Common questions
What is the TRIM Notice?
It is the Notice of Proposed Property Taxes your county mails in August. It shows your assessed value, the proposed rates, and — critically — the deadline to file your petition.
Do you file the appeal for me?
With the $199 report you file the petition and we prepare all the evidence and paperwork. Assisted submission, where a specialist walks you through the filing, is coming soon — we are not selling it yet and have not published a price. In neither case are we a law firm, and we do not give legal advice.
What is the homestead exemption?
It is a Florida exemption for your primary residence. It reduces the assessed value and triggers the Save Our Homes cap, which limits annual assessment increases to 3%. You file it with your county before March 1.
Can appealing raise my taxes?
Filing a VAB petition does not by itself raise your assessment. The board reviews the evidence and either lowers the assessed value or leaves it unchanged.
Is your county overcharging you?
