Florida VAB petitions are due 25 days from the mailing date on your TRIM Notice (typically August or September). Your TRIM Notice mailing date starts the clock — verify the postmark on your county's notice.

Your TRIM Notice mailing date starts the clock — not when you open the envelope. Missing the window usually forfeits your appeal for that tax year.

FAQ

What happens if I miss the deadline?

Late filings are usually rejected for that tax year. Mark your notice mailing date immediately and file before the statutory window closes.

Does mailing date or receipt date count?

Count from the date printed on your official notice — not when you opened it. Confirm current rules with your local appraisal office.

Can I protest and file exemptions in the same year?

Yes. Exemptions and market-value protests are separate filings — fix missing exemptions and protest appraised value if it still exceeds market evidence.
