Do YOU Pay More Than YOUR Fair Share of Florida Property Taxes?

 

Nearly 250 years ago, there was a King who wanted someone else to pay for his war. So he sent a collector across the pond to tax the colonists. Though they said "no," the King persisted. And, he had the power to take their property with impunity. In protest, the colonists started a war of their own, fighting with pitchforks for their rights, key among them - fair taxation.

The result was a new country with no King! One where anyone had the right to own property, and taxes had to be fair. This new nation was based on the enduring right to a meaningful remedy against illegal taxes. 

In Florida, every taxpayer’s remedy is the Value Adjustment Board. 

VAB WATCH

January 2010

DUVAL: PAO document contradicts DOR PTO Bulletin 09-29. In some instances, PAO allegedly is refusing to provide its evidence to a petitioner.

POLK: Hearings conducted behind locked doors. At least one magistrate is not applying the standards adopted in House Bill 521 (2009 Legislation). Opening Statement is NOT a DOR document, and does NOT include all material parts of section 193.011, Fla. Stat.

CHARLOTTE: Hearing Notices are NOT on DOR forms and provide NO contact information. VAB appears to have adopted a final hearing deadline in contradiction with state standards.

HILLSBOROUGH: Opening statement is NOT a DOR document. Magistrates are NOT assigned through a blind, random selection protocol.

Check back here often to follow VAB compliance with governing state laws.

Your Right To Fight - Peacefully!

NOW, nearly 250 years later, pitchforks are NOT needed to ensure fair taxation. VAB petitions are!

Many hidden mistakes are found in real and tangible property government assessments. Administrative appeals help identify and correct these errors - with the outcome being lower property taxes.
