Deadline to Appeal your Property Assessed Value in Lakeland FL and homes throughout Polk County is fast approaching.
The property appraiser mails out Truth in Millage or TRIM Notices to Lakeland FL homeowners and homeowners throughout the State of Florida in mid-August.
Are you in disagreement with the assessed property value of your Lakeland Florida home?
The Value Adjustment Board notices include three values
- Market value
- Assessed value
- Taxable value
If you don’t agree with the market value, you have the right to appeal your tax assessment by filing a petition to the Value Adjustment Board.
An informal meeting is encouraged to have your estimation of the market value from the assessor’s property appraisal reviewed by going to the Polk County Property Appraiser’s office and discuss the matter. Filing a petition
