Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood. If your assessment is significantly higher than what comparable properties sold for, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the appeal deadline in Miami-Dade County?
You must file your appeal within 25 days of receiving your TRIM notice, typically by early September. Missing this deadline means waiting until the following year.
Can you help with both my home and rental property?
Yes, we handle appeals for all property types including primary residences, second homes, and investment properties. Each requires different valuation approaches and strategies.
What evidence do you need for a successful appeal?
We typically need recent comparable sales, property condition information, and any factors that might negatively impact value such as needed repairs or environmental issues. Professional appraisals may also be required.
How much could I save on my property taxes?
Savings depend on the degree of overassessment and property value. Successful appeals often reduce assessments by 15-25%, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Will appealing increase my chances of being reassessed higher next year?
No, filing an appeal won't trigger higher future assessments. Counties reassess all properties annually based on market conditions regardless of appeal history.
Do you handle appeals for condominium units?
Yes, condo appeals require special consideration of building-wide factors and individual unit characteristics. We have experience with both individual unit and building-wide assessment challenges.
What happens if the appeal is unsuccessful?
If unsuccessful, your assessment remains unchanged. You're responsible for agreed fees but can file again next year if circumstances change or new evidence becomes available.
