As required by state law, the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office has mailed notices to all property owners in Palm Beach County on behalf of the taxing authorities that set the tax rates and levy taxes on properties.
The 2024 Truth in Millage or TRIM notices include information about property values, exemptions and assessment reductions, and budget hearings.
One side of the TRIM notices details the proposed taxes to be levied on each property by taxing authorities, along with the dates, times and locations of budget hearings. During those hearing, the final tax rates will be determined, and so those meetings are an opportunity to raise concerns about proposed tax rates. In addition, there is a section for non-ad valorem assessments, which are charges for governmental services such as solid waste, drainage, street lighting, etc. They are not based on the value of the property.
The other side of the notice lists the market, assessed, and taxable values of each property, along with any qualified exemptions and assessment caps. Also listed is information regarding the process for filing a petition to appeal the market valuation or exemptions. The deadline to file a petition with the Value Adjustment Board is Sept. 16.
More information is available at www.pbcpao.gov/trim. The office welcomes any questions regarding your notice, property value and exemption amounts at (561) 355-2866 or myexemption@pbcgov.org.
