Your Truth in Millage notice shows what the county thinks your home is worth — and what you'll pay in taxes. Here's how to read it, spot over-assessments, and challenge them before the 25-day filing window closes.
Every year in August, Palm Beach County homeowners receive their TRIM (Truth in Millage) notice — a document that shows your proposed assessed value, exemptions, millage rates, and estimated tax bill for the coming year. For many homeowners, this is the only time they look at their property assessment. And for many, it reveals an assessed value that exceeds what their home would actually sell for. Florida law gives you 25 days from the mailing of the TRIM notice to file a petition with the Value Adjustment Board (VAB) if you believe your assessment is too high. Understanding how to read the notice and build a case can save hundreds to thousands of dollars annually.
