Questions About Your 2022 Property Assessment or Exemptions?

By Marty Kiar

Our office mailed over 776,000 TRIM (proposed tax) Notices to Broward County property owners last month. The 2022 Just/Market Values are based on the market data from 2021 as Florida Statutes require that our office use January 1 as the date of assessment each year. 

The TRIM Notice you received shows your 2022 market value, any tax-saving exemptions you are receiving, and the proposed tax amounts as set by the various taxing authorities listed on the notice. It is important to remember the Property Appraiser’s Office does not set or collect Taxes.

If you believe you are entitled to a Homestead Exemption or any other exemption not shown on your TRIM Notice, you may still late file for any 2022 exemption until September 19, 2022. For a list of all the available tax-saving exemptions and to apply for these exemptions online, please visit our website at https://web.bcpa.net/bcpaclient/#/Homestead or call us at 954-357-6830.

If you have any questions about your 2022 market value or exemptions, please email or call us prior to September 19, 2022.

If you have questions or concerns about any of the proposed tax rates or non-ad valorem fees, including fire assessments, please contact the taxing authority listed on the TRIM Notice. 

The ABSOLUTE deadline to file an application for any 2022 exemption or to appeal your property’s 2022 just value is September 19, 2022.

Value Adjustment Board

The Value Adjustment Board (VAB) is an independent quasi-judicial review board. If you believe your property assessment is not what a buyer would have reasonably paid for your property on January 1, 2022, you should first contact our office. If after speaking with one of our appraisers, you still do not agree, you can file an appeal with the Broward County Value Adjustment Board.

If you were denied an exemption, you may also file an appeal with the Value Adjustment Board challenging this denial. The absolute filing deadline for Value Adjustment Board petitions is September 19, 2022. If you would like to file a petition online, please visit the VAB website at https://bcvab.broward.org/axiaweb2022. Should you have any questions for the Value Adjustment Board, they can be reached at vab@broward.org or 954-357-7205.

If my office can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at martykiar@bcpa.net.

Take care,
