A TRIM Proposal Evaluation Notice is sent each August. We can audit your property if you believe it would not have sold at its revalued value on January 1 of the relevant tax year; please call our office to request an audit. If you still disagree with the appraisal after the review, you can go through the appeals process, which gives you a chance to prove the value of your property. The TRIM prompt displays two values. One is the estimated market value or “fair value,” and the other is the appraisal value.
There may be a difference between the appraised value and the “fair” appraisal value due to the 10th Amendment to the Florida Constitution, also known as “Save Our Home,” which limits the increase in the “appraised” value of “homes” or parts of used property. For an apartment in multi-family or commercial properties to the owner of the CPI consumer price index or 3% per annum. In subsequent years, the appraised value will continue to increase at a CPI rate of 3% or less until it reaches the “fair” value.
New additions to the property or items that have been evaded in the past are excluded from the limitation. These items will be added to their full market value in the year they are found or added and will be subject to the cap in subsequent years.
