Property Tax Disputes

County property appraisers don’t always get it right, and an inflated assessment means paying more in property taxes than you should. Florida law gives property owners the right to challenge an assessment, but there are strict deadlines and procedures that must be followed to preserve that right.

Mitchell St. Louis, P.A. represents property owners in disputing unfair or inaccurate property tax assessments, from petitioning the Value Adjustment Board through initiating a lawsuit in Circuit Court.  

What we handle:

• Reviewing property tax assessments for accuracy 
• Filing appeals with the county property appraiser
• Representation before the Value Adjustment Board 
• Gathering comparable sales and valuation evidence to support a lower assessment 
• Advising on homestead and other exemption eligibility 

Why it matters:

 Property tax appeal deadlines are short and strictly enforced, so an overassessment that isn’t challenged on time means paying the inflated amount for the full tax year. Acting promptly is essential to preserving your right to appeal.
