Broward County Property Tax Appeal2026 · Reviewed 2026-08-10

To appeal your Broward County property taxes in 2026, file a Value Adjustment Board petition (Form DR-486) with the Broward County Value Adjustment Board within 25 days of your TRIM notice. For the 2026 tax year that deadline is September 18, 2026. Include evidence of overassessment such as recent comparable sales. The Broward County VAB filing fee is $25, payable to Broward County VAB. Filing is authorized under Florida Statute §194.011. TaxAppeal USA prepares your DR-486 petition, you sign it yourself as Florida Statute §194.011 requires, and we pay the county filing fee and mail it for a flat $89 plus that fee. TaxAppeal USA is not your representative and does not appear before the Board.

Filing a Broward County VAB Petition

Where the petition is filed

Not the Broward County Property Appraiser. The Property Appraiser sets the value your petition challenges, but does not receive the petition — a DR-486 mailed there is never filed, and the appeal year is lost. TaxAppeal USA mails to the Clerk address above and encloses the filing fee. Verified against Broward County's published VAB page →

At 19.8638 per $1,000, every $10,000 removed from a taxable value is worth roughly $199 a year — before any assessment cap. Where Save Our Homes or the 10% non-homestead cap already holds your taxable value below market, a reduction can be absorbed and save you nothing. Our free Broward County check tells you which applies to your property before you pay anything.

Broward County Property Tax FAQs

What is the deadline to petition property taxes in Broward County, Florida?
Florida gives you 25 days from the date your TRIM notice is mailed. For the 2026 tax year the Broward County deadline is September 18, 2026, and TaxAppeal USA works to that date. Florida satisfies the deadline by physical receipt, not by postmark, so we mail well ahead of it. Filing is authorized under Florida Statute §194.011.
How does TaxAppeal USA handle my Broward County petition?
We generate a professional appeal using your Broward County property data, comparable sales in your area, and the specific legal arguments that work best in Broward County. You review and sign it, then we send it via trackable USPS mail in your name to the Broward County Value Adjustment Board — filed as your own appeal.
How much can I save on my Broward County property taxes?
Your saving is the size of the reduction multiplied by your local tax rate. Broward County's 2025 millage is 19.8638 per $1,000 of taxable value, so every $10,000 knocked off a taxable value is worth roughly $199 a year — before any assessment cap. Where Save Our Homes or the 10% non-homestead cap already holds your taxable value below market, a reduction can be absorbed by the cap and save you nothing at all, which is why our free check tells you which applies to your property before you pay. TaxAppeal USA charges a flat $89 plus the county filing fee — never a percentage of your savings.
Where do I mail my Broward County VAB petition?
To the Broward County Value Adjustment Board, 115 S. Andrews Avenue, Room 120, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 (attn: Value Adjustment Board). Not to the Broward County Property Appraiser — the Property Appraiser sets your value but does not receive the petition, and a DR-486 mailed there is never filed. TaxAppeal USA mails to the Clerk's address above and pays the filing fee with it.
What is the Broward County VAB filing fee?
$25 per parcel, payable to Broward County VAB. Florida House Bill 7031 (effective July 2025) lets counties charge up to $50; Broward County's adopted rate is $25. TaxAppeal USA pays it on your behalf with your petition, so your all-in cost is $114 and you do not write a separate cheque to the county.
Who is the Broward County Property Appraiser?
The Broward County Property Appraiser sets the assessed value of every property in Broward County — that is the value a VAB petition challenges. The Property Appraiser does not decide your petition and does not receive it; the Value Adjustment Board decides it and the Clerk of the Board receives it.
Is it worth protesting my Broward County property taxes?
It costs nothing to file in most counties, and TaxAppeal USA charges a flat $89. Outcome rates are not published by every state — where they are, they vary widely: a peer-reviewed study of Dallas County records found 69.7% of homeowner-filed protests won a reduction in 2020 (American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, 2025), while Florida counties reported anywhere from 57% down to 0% for tax year 2024. Your county decides, and we cannot promise a result.
Do I need to attend a hearing for my Broward County petition?
That decision is yours. Many Florida petitions are resolved on the written evidence without anyone appearing. If a formal hearing is scheduled, TaxAppeal USA cannot attend for you — we are a document preparation and mailing service, not your representative — so you would attend yourself or choose not to. We notify you when we receive a hearing notice, and your evidence package stays on the record either way.

TaxAppeal USA is a self-service document-preparation and mail filing service. In every state we serve, including Florida, we are not property tax consultants, agents, or representatives, we do not provide tax or legal advice, and we do not represent customers before any appraisal district, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and filed in the owner’s name. In Florida we also pay your county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee on your behalf and mail your petition to the Clerk of the Value Adjustment Board. Your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
