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 valuation 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 valuations. Both residential homeowners and commercial property owners can file a petition to have their valuation reviewed by a neutral special magistrate β€” completely separate from the county appraiser's office.

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

✦
Your property 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 valuation 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 valuations, you may have a case.
✦
Your property has condition issues not reflected Deferred maintenance, structural issues, or defects can justify a lower property value.
✦
Your commercial property income has declined For income-producing properties, reduced rents or occupancy should be reflected in the valuation.
✦
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.
