Property Tax Appeal Testimonial
Steve Housman is without a doubt the individual to use. He made the process effortless. I provided basic documents and information on my home and he ran with it. He did the research, made all the necessary contacts with the county, and personally delivered the docs within 24 hours which was critical. Steve was able to convince the county for a late “special” petition due to unforeseen circumstances. He was able to negotiate a reduction prior to the formal in person hearing. The best news is he was able to get my property taxes reduced by more than $25k..
I highly recommend Steve and Property Tax Experts. Yoram Rubanenko

DO NOT SIT ON YOUR HANDS. THE APPEAL PROCESS IS TIME SENSITIVE. APPEAL YOUR MIAMI-DADE, BROWARD, OR PALM BEACH COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S MARKET/ASSESSED VALUE TODAY.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE TO CHALLENGE THE PROPERTY APPRAISER’S VALUATION
From the time that you receive your TRIM (Truth in millage) notice from the county where your property is located, you have an approximate 25-day window to challenge the Property Appraiser’s valuation of your property(s). PAY ATTENTION TO THE DEADLINE EXPRESSED ON YOUR TRIM NOTICE, EXPRESSING THE FILING DEADLINE IN THE COUNTY THAT YOUR PROPERTY IS LOCATED. Contact us for any questions that you may have. We can guide and help your through the process.
Depending upon the respective calendar – petition filing deadlines are usually on the following dates:
- Miami-Dade County: TRIM NOTICE mailed by Mid- August 2024
- Petition filing deadline is September 18, 2024
- Broward County: TRIM NOTICE mailed second week in August 2024
- petition filing deadline is September 18, 2024
- Palm Beach County: TRIM NOTIC first week in August
- petition filing deadline September 16, 2024
IF THE PROPERTY OWNER FAILS TO FILE A PETITION BY THE ABOVE-MENTIONED PETITION FILING DEADLINE(S) THEN THE ONLY OPTION IS TO FILE A ‘GOOD CAUSE’ OR A ‘LATE FILING’.
This type of filing requires that the prospective petitioner must show good cause as to why he/she did not file by the deadline date. Qualifying ‘good cause’ or ‘late filing’ reasons are:
Officially:
Listed below are the five general reasons the County Value Adjustment Board (VAB) would find — pursuant to Florida law — that a taxpayer has made a sufficient showing of good cause to late file a petition after the county 2024, filing deadline. “Good cause” means the showing of particular extenuating circumstances in complying with the law. The VAB reviews the application for good cause to determine whether the taxpayer has demonstrated good cause justifying consideration and that the delay in filing the petition will not be prejudicial to the performance of the County’s taxing process. The review shall be limited to the written request. In the event good cause is determined, the Board may simultaneously approve the recommendation of the Property Appraiser or a hearing shall be scheduled for a special magistrate hearing in compliance with the Value Adjustment Board Rules of Procedure.
Reasons for late filing acceptable for the granting of good cause include:
- Personal, family, or business crisis or emergency at a critical time or for an extended period that would cause a reasonable person’s attention to be diverted from filing (death in family, hospitalization, etc.).
- Physical or mental illness, infirmity, or disability that would reasonably affect the taxpayer’s ability to timely file.
- Miscommunication with, or misinformation received from, the VAB clerk, property appraiser staff, or an agent regarding the necessity or the proper procedure for filing.
- Failure to receive a copy of a notice from the Property Appraiser through no fault of the taxpayer (e.g., mailed to the wrong address due to clerical error).
- Any other causes that would prevent a reasonably prudent taxpayer from timely filing.
- Traveling out of the country during August and passed the filing deadline in your county. Proof of travel with travel documents
- Sick and or hospitalized. Produce doctor letters and treatment and treatment dates
- Traveling within U.S. but not available to file a petition by the deadline. Travel documents are required.
- Family emergencies – require documentation.
- Other reasons
This type of petition requires that your petition and documentation is discussed and reviewed before a legal magistrate who will decide on whether your petition has merit to proceed to a value hearing.
