Property tax appeals in the Sunshine State — from Miami-Dade and Broward through the I-4 corridor to the Space Coast, Jacksonville, and the Tampa Bay metro.
Florida assesses property at just value (full market value as of January 1) under FL Stat. §193.011's eight-factor test. The distinctive feature: Save Our Homes caps annual increases in homestead assessed value at the lesser of 3% or CPI under FL Stat. §193.155 (2026 cap = 2.7%). The result is two parallel value rolls — just value and assessed value — that diverge over time as homesteads are held through appreciating markets. The procedural escalation runs Property Appraiser informal review → Value Adjustment Board (VAB) within 25 days of TRIM mailing → Circuit Court within 60 days of certification. The hidden lever: portability — up to $500,000 of accumulated Save Our Homes savings transfers to a new Florida homestead under FL Stat. §193.155(8).
