Property Appraisers in Florida have just this past week sent out Truth In Millage (TRIM) notices to all property owners.  These TRIM notices show the property tax assessments for 2013, as well as estimated taxes for this year. Property owners have just 25 days from the mailing of the TRIM notice to review the valuation and challenge the assessment on the property.

Anyone who owns property in Florida should carefully review their TRIM notices as soon as they are received.  County property appraisers have made a concerted push over the last 2-3 years for additional tax base and it is imperative that all property owners stay aware of potential increases in your property taxes this year.
