DON'T PAY MORE THAN YOUR FAIR SHARE OF PROPERTY TAXES IN 2009!

August will be a very important month for many South Florida homeowners. You will be receiving your Notice of Proposed Property Taxes, also known as the  Truth in Millage (TRIM) Notice. This document is provided by the County Property Appraiser to all property owners as required by law.

The TRIM Notice tells you the taxable value of your property and provides information on proposed millage rates and taxes as estimated by your County taxing authority, which includes the County Commission, School Board, Cities, etc.   

The TRIM Notice also gives you information on proposed millage rates and taxes as estimated by your county taxing authorities. This notice will help you determine whether your property taxes are over-valued. If you believe they are you will only have 25 days from the mailing date of your Truth in Millage (TRIM) Notice to file an appeal to dispute the Property Appraiser’s valuation of your home. Time is of the essence. You should plan ahead to be prepared to appeal your property taxes.   

Real Estate Values Decreased Substantially The Last 12 Months

Let’s face it; the real estate market in South Florida has substantially declined in the past 12 months. Many of you have seen the value of your homes plummet and may even be upside down on your mortgages. The true value of your home may not even be close to what the County Property Appraiser assessed it at.

Times are tough and families are struggling to make ends meet. You and your family should not have to pay more than your fair share of property taxes!
