Florida Property Tax Appeal Service

Appeal Your Florida Property Taxes — $89 Kit

We check whether a petition will actually lower your tax bill, after caps and exemptions, before you pay. If it won't, we'll tell you, and we won't sell you one. If it will, we mail you a ready-to-sign kit: Form DR-486 filled in, comparable values, a checklist and a return envelope addressed to your Value Adjustment Board. You sign it, add the county's fee cheque and mail it. No percentage cuts. Keep 100% of your savings.

About 1 in 3 Florida homes can’t be helped by an appeal. We’ll tell you if yours is one — free, before you pay.

What Florida Value Adjustment Board records show

Every figure here comes from the Florida Department of Revenue's own statewide compilation of county Tax Impact Notices (Form DR-529) — linked below so you can check it.

62%
of Miami-Dade VAB petitions that reached a decision won a reduction

28,956 of the 46,494 petitions the Board decided in tax year 2024. Miami-Dade has run between 53% and 62% for four consecutive years.

49%
statewide — across all 67 Florida counties

Florida boards reduced 32,216 of the 65,437 petitions they decided in tax year 2024. Rates vary widely between counties, which is why we show you your own county's numbers before you file.

$6.0B
in taxable value removed by Florida VABs in one year

$6,045,180,241 came off the Florida tax rolls in tax year 2024, shifting $59 million in taxes — all of it belonging to owners who filed a petition before their deadline.

These are published results for the jurisdiction shown, not TaxAppeal USA results, and not a prediction for any individual property. Outcomes vary widely by county and by property. TaxAppeal USA is a document preparation service and does not guarantee any reduction. Petitions withdrawn or resolved before a decision are excluded from these rates. That bucket includes settlements agreed with the Property Appraiser, which are normally taxpayer wins, so the true win rate is higher than shown.

TaxAppeal vs. Florida Property Tax Appeal Firms

Many Florida firms charge 25–40% of your savings — every year. Here is how TaxAppeal's flat fee compares.

Typical Florida Firm
25–40% of savings

On a $2,000 annual reduction, you would pay $500–$800 in fees every single year.

✗ A share of your savings, every year
✗ Some charge upfront plus contingency
TaxAppeal USA
$89 flat. Period.

Same $2,000 reduction. You pay $89 once and keep the rest. The county's VAB fee (typically $15–$50) is paid by you to the county, whichever way you go. Every year after that, the savings are 100% yours.

Ready to appeal your Florida property taxes?

We check first, before you pay. The kit is $89 flat — we never take a percentage.

Your county's VAB filing fee (typically $15–$50) is separate and paid by you to the county. You sign your petition and mail it; the VAB must receive it by your county's deadline.

TaxAppeal USA is a self-service document-preparation service. We prepare a ready-to-sign appeal kit and mail it to you; you sign it and mail it to the county yourself. 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 file appeals or represent customers before any appraisal district, board of assessors, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every appeal, protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and mailed by the owner in the owner’s name. In Florida your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes, and the county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee is paid by you directly to the county. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
