Miami home values have surged to record highs, and many Miami-Dade homeowners are significantly over-assessed. 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 VAB petition kit for $89.
For tax year 2024 the Miami-Dade Value Adjustment Board reduced 14,856 of the 41,942 residential petitions filed, removing $1.34 billion in taxable value (Miami-Dade VAB, Form DR-529). Here's why Miami homeowners have especially strong grounds.
Florida's TRIM notice arrives every August showing your assessed value. You have only 25 days to file a petition with the Value Adjustment Board — and Florida requires RECEIPT by the deadline, not just postmark.
Miami-Dade's booming real estate market means many properties are assessed at values that exceed their actual fair market value under Florida Statute §193.011.
Miami-Dade charges a $15 VAB filing fee (HB 7031 allows counties up to $50; Miami-Dade's own adopted rate is $15). You pay it to the county with a cheque you put in the envelope we send you. It is not part of our $89 fee.
We prepare your petition and mail it to you with an envelope addressed to the Miami-Dade Value Adjustment Board. You sign it, add the county’s fee cheque and a stamp, and mail it the day it arrives, or hand-deliver it.
Most Miami property tax firms charge 25–40% of your savings every year. Here's how TaxAppeal's flat $89 compares.
On a $2,800 reduction, that's $700–$1,120 in fees — every single year.
Same $2,800 saving: you keep $2,696 after our $89 and the county’s $15 filing fee. Every year after is 100% yours.
Join Miami homeowners saving money every year.
$89 for your kit. The $15 Miami-Dade VAB fee is paid by you, to the county, with a cheque in the envelope.
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.
