Understanding Your Rights

What Is a Florida VAB Appeal?

Every year, Florida county property appraisers assign a value to your property β€” and that value directly determines how much you pay in property taxes. If you believe your assessment is too high, you have a legal right to challenge it through the Value Adjustment Board (VAB).

The VAB is an independent Florida government board that reviews property tax assessments. Both residential homeowners and commercial property owners can file a petition to have their assessment reviewed by a neutral special magistrate β€” completely separate from the county appraiser's office.

Property Tax Cutters helps you understand your assessed value, identify potential overvaluation, gather the right supporting evidence, and navigate the petition process β€” all before your deadline expires.

✦
Your assessed value jumped significantly this year A large increase β€” especially above local market trends β€” is a red flag worth investigating.
✦
You recently purchased at a lower price If your county's assessment is higher than your actual purchase price, that's a strong basis for appeal.
✦
Similar nearby properties are taxed at lower values If comparable homes or commercial buildings in your area show lower assessments, you may have a case.
✦
Your property has condition issues not reflected Deferred maintenance, structural issues, or defects can justify a lower assessed value.
✦
Your commercial property income has declined For income-producing properties, reduced rents or occupancy should be reflected in the assessment.
✦
You received your TRIM notice and feel uncertain Even if you're unsure β€” a quick review costs you nothing and could save you hundreds or thousands.
