Palm Beach's ultra-luxury island estates represent some of the most valuable — and most frequently over-assessed — properties in all of Florida. Even a fraction of a percent reduction on a $3M+ home saves tens of thousands annually. We prepare your petition and mail it for $89 plus Palm Beach County's $20 VAB filing fee — $109 in total — and we never take a percentage of what you save.

| Service | Fee Structure | Cost on an example $7,900 reduction |

Our figure is what you pay in total: our $89 service fee plus Palm Beach County's $20 VAB filing fee, which we pay to the county for you. Competitor figures are their service fee on an example $7,900 reduction and exclude any county filing fee, which they also charge separately.

When you receive your TRIM notice in August, you have 25 days to file a petition with the Palm Beach County Value Adjustment Board (VAB). TaxAppeal USA prepares your petition and mails it for you — you sign it yourself — we generate a professional protest letter with comparable sales evidence and mail it 7+ days before your deadline. The cost is $89 plus Palm Beach County's $20 VAB filing fee — $109 in total: our $89 service fee, and the county's own filing fee, which we pay to the Palm Beach County VAB on your behalf.
Florida TRIM notices are mailed in mid-August each year. The VAB petition deadline is 25 days after your notice is mailed, typically falling around September 18. You must file before this date — TaxAppeal USA prepares your petition and mails it once you sign — by tracked USPS First Class mail, with the county's filing fee paid to the VAB on your behalf — with time to spare. That county fee is collected at checkout on top of our $89, not absorbed by us.
It depends on the gap between your assessed value and your property's market value, and the Value Adjustment Board makes the final decision - we cannot promise a number. For scale, Miami-Dade's VAB reduced 14,856 residential parcels for tax year 2024, shifting about $589 per reduced parcel (Miami-Dade VAB, Form DR-529). Palm Beach County publishes its own figures each year, and Florida counties differ sharply. Whatever reduction you get, you keep all of it — we never take a percentage. The cost is $89 plus Palm Beach County's $20 VAB filing fee — $109 in total.
TRIM stands for Truth in Millage. It is a notice mailed by your county property appraiser every August showing your proposed property assessment and estimated taxes. If you believe your assessed value is too high, you have 25 days to file a petition with the Value Adjustment Board.

TaxAppeal USA prepares a professional, evidence-backed petition letter and mails it 7+ days before your deadline for $89 plus Palm Beach County's $20 VAB filing fee — $109 in total — no attorney fees, no percentage of savings.

Palm Beach files through Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach County appeal guide has the Value Adjustment Board's mailing address, the county filing fee, the September 14, 2026 deadline and the current millage rate.
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.
