What to Expect

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save on my property taxes through an appeal?
Savings vary widely depending on the degree of overassessment, but successful appeals often result in 15-40% reductions in assessed value. This translates to ongoing annual tax savings throughout the assessment period.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Jacksonville?
In Duval County, appeals must typically be filed within 25 days of receiving the assessment notice. Deadlines are strict, so it's important to act quickly if you believe your assessment is too high.
Do I need an attorney for a property tax appeal?
While not legally required, attorney representation can be valuable for complex cases or significant assessment disputes. Legal expertise helps navigate procedural requirements and present stronger arguments to review boards.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer. The timeline depends on case complexity, hearing schedules, and whether additional valuation analysis is needed.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If the initial appeal fails, there may be options for further review depending on the circumstances. Some cases can be appealed to higher authorities or reconsidered if new evidence becomes available.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can challenge your assessment annually if you believe it's incorrect. However, successful appeals require evidence that the assessment exceeds fair market value or contains errors.
What evidence do I need for a successful property tax appeal?
Strong appeals typically include comparable sales data, evidence of property condition issues, income and expense information for rental properties, and professional appraisals when warranted. The specific evidence depends on your property type and situation.
Will appealing my property taxes trigger an audit or increase my assessment?
No, filing a legitimate appeal won't result in penalties or assessment increases. Property owners have the legal right to challenge assessments they believe are incorrect without fear of retaliation.
