If your opinion of the market value of your property differs from the Property Appraiser's , Please come
in and discuss the matter with us.
If you have evidence that the appraised value of your property is
more than the actual fair market value of your property, we will welcome
the opportunity to review all the pertinent facts with you.
After talking with us, if you still find a
significant difference between our appraisal and what you feel your property's market value is, you may request
a hearing before the Value Adjustment Board. You must file a written
petition with the Clerk of the Circuit Court (acting as Clerk of the Value Adjustment Board). Petitions
(DR-486 - Real Property and Tangible Personal
Property Petition or
DR-486PORT for Homestead Portability
Petition ) may be obtained from the Property Appraiser's office.
The Value Adjustment
Board's function is to hear evidence whether or not properties called
to their attention are appraised at more or less than their market value. The Board has the authority to change the
appraised value if they find it in the case. They cannot change your appraised value for any reason other than
differences in market value. However, the Board can also hear
appeals on denial of exemptions.
Pursuant to Florida Statute 194.013, as required by resolution of the
Value Adjustment Board, a petition filed pursuant to s.194.011 shall be accompanied by filing fee to be
paid to Clerk of Circuit Courts, (acting as the Clerk of
the Value adjustment board), for each separate parcel of property, real or personal, covered by the petition and
subject to appeal.Completed petitions should be mailed to:
