FAQ

Is a Florida condo TRIM notice different from a house?

The TRIM format is the same, but condo just value usually includes a unit allocation plus a share of common elements. Compare unit-level data on the property appraiser site, not just the mailing headline value.

What comps work best for a condo VAB hearing?

Closed sales of similar units in the same building or association, matched by beds, baths, floor, and condition. Building-wide or distant comps are weaker unless no in-association sales exist.

When is the deadline to appeal a Florida condo TRIM notice?

Most counties require a VAB petition within 25 days after TRIM notices mail—often early September. Confirm the exact date on your county clerk or property appraiser website.

Can I appeal my condo assessment if I have a homestead exemption?

Yes. Homestead and Save Our Homes affect assessed value caps; you can still petition if just value exceeds market evidence or if the appraiser misclassified your unit.
