INSIDE VALUE ADJUSTMENT BOARDS
The truth is,
property taxes are the ONLY levy based upon opinions. Coupled with
that, the methods used to gather and apply data in this important
and constitutional area are not exact.
What does all that mean?
That there are INACCURACIES in tax rolls, and, on the flip side,
we as taxpayers make mistakes too.
One way for most Florida taxpayers to lower their property taxes
is through Value Adjustment Boards. The VAB process is an
affordable, effective remedy ~
intended to find errors, and whenever possible, get them
corrected!

A Word About Checks and Balances
Ad valorem
taxes
are governed by State laws. Appeals of assessments are administered
locally, with supervision by the Florida Department of Revenue.
Compliance with State standards is key to the protection of taxpayers
rights to due process.
