The Florida rule
Section 194.011(3)(d) of the Florida Statutes says a petition to the value adjustment board (VAB) may be filed, as to valuation issues, at any time during the taxable year on or before the 25th day following the mailing of notice by the property appraiser. Where the dispute is about the denial of an exemption, an agricultural or high-water recharge classification, a historic-property classification or a deferral, the petition is due on or before the 30th day after the relevant notice is mailed.
Worked example
If the property appraiser mails your notice on August 16, 2027, day 25 is Friday, September 10, 2027. The calculator adds the days to the mailing date. The statute does not say what happens when day 25 falls on a weekend, so this page does not roll the date; if it lands on a weekend, file the business day before.
Before you petition
Section 194.011(2) lets you ask the property appraiser to confer informally. That conference is not a prerequisite to a VAB petition, so it should never delay your filing. The petition must be on the Department of Revenue's form, signed by you or accompanied by your written authorization.
Evidence and timing rules
At least 15 days before the hearing, you must give the property appraiser a list of the evidence you will present, copies of the documents the board will consider, and a summary of any witness evidence. The property appraiser must do the same, including the property record card. A failure by the appraiser to comply results in a rescheduled hearing.
- The notice of proposed property taxes and the petition receipt.
- Comparable sales near the valuation date, with addresses, dates and prices.
- Photos, repair quotes and any appraisal.
- The property record card, to catch wrong size or room counts.
Limits of this page
- This page does not predict the mailing date of your notice.
- We did not confirm any late-filing option; ask your VAB clerk if your date has passed.
