Juan Fernandez-Barquin, Esq., Miami-Dade County Clerk of the Court and Comptroller Urges Property Owners to Review TRIM Notices and Consider Appeals if Discrepancies are Found
Miami-Dade County property owners, both residential and commercial should carefully examine their recently mailed Truth in Millage (TRIM) notices. These notices, distributed by the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, contain critical information about each property’s assessed value, exemptions, and the proposed taxes for the upcoming year. For property owners who identify discrepancies or believe their property has been inaccurately assessed, I encourage you to appeal your assessment through the Value Adjustment Board (VAB).
The TRIM notice is not a bill, but it plays a vital role in showing property owners how their taxes are calculated. It is essential for property owners to understand this document, as it outlines the basis for their property tax obligations for the year. Any errors or overvaluations can result in higher taxes, which is why timely action is crucial. If a property owner disputes the assessed value or believes they qualify for additional exemptions that have not been applied, they have the right to appeal to the VAB. To initiate this process, property owners must pay all non-ad valorem assessments and make a partial payment of at least 75% of the ad valorem taxes levied against their property before the taxes become delinquent. Failure to meet this payment requirement will result in the denial or rejection of the taxpayer’s petition.
It is crucial that property owners understand their rights and the process for challenging any inaccuracies. Property owners who believe their property’s assessed value is incorrect, or who are eligible for exemptions not reflected in their notice, should consider filing an appeal with the VAB. The VAB process is an essential tool for ensuring that property taxes are fair and equitable, and we are to help.
VAB petitions to dispute/appeal property TRIM notices must be received on or before September 17, 2024.
