Tax Appeal Appraisals

The Florida Department of Revenue

If you disagree with the assessment of property taxes, you can appeal. You may do this on you own, but we recommend you use a licensed, trusted and experienced Orlando Appraiser for a current and/or updated property appraisal.

Fred Collins can help you with this.

The following is from FDR.

​As a property owner, you have the right to appeal.

• The property appraiser’s assessment of your property’s value.
• A denial of your application for an exemption, such as homestead, veterans, or senior citizen.
• A denial of your application for property classification, such as agricultural or historic.
• A denial of your application for tax deferral.
• A determination that a change of ownership, a change of ownership or control, or a qualifying improvement has occurred.

If you disagree with the property appraiser’s assessment, you can discuss the assessment with the property appraiser’s office, file a petition with the county value adjustment board (VAB) to appeal the property appraiser’s assessment, or both. You can also file a lawsuit in circuit court to challenge the property appraiser’s assessment or the VAB’s decision.

Please note that the options below are taxpayer rights authorized by section 194.011(2), F.S., and none of the options is a prerequisite for the others.
