The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office has mailed 2025 Truth in Millage (TRIM) notices to all property owners in Palm Beach County, as required by Florida law.
These notices, which are not tax bills, provide important information about each property’s market, assessed and taxable values, proposed tax rates, and exemptions.
The TRIM notice is a key tool for taxpayers to review:
- Your property value, based on the real estate market as of Jan. 1, 2025.
- Your exemptions, such as Homestead or other qualified reductions.
- Proposed millage rates (tax rates), set by various taxing authorities, including the Palm Beach County School Board, the Palm Beach County Commission, municipalities and special districts.
- Budget hearing details, including the dates, times and locations where final tax rates will be decided.
The notice also includes a section on non-ad valorem assessments (such as solid waste, drainage and street lighting). These charges are not based on property value, and the Property Appraiser’s Office does not set or collect them.
Review your notice carefully. If you disagree with your property value, classification or exemption status, now is the time to act. Contact the Property Appraiser’s Office at (561) 355-2866 or e-mail myexemption@pbcgov.org to discuss your concerns. If an agreement cannot be reached, you may file a petition with the Palm Beach County Value Adjustment Board. The filing deadline is Monday, Sept. 15.
“Your TRIM notice is more than just numbers — it’s your opportunity to understand your property’s valuation, ensure your exemptions are applied correctly and have a voice in setting tax rates,” Palm Beach County Property Appraiser Dorothy Jacks said. “We encourage property owners to review their notice and reach out with any questions.”
The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office has more than 220 professional staff members, fluent in 18 languages and five conveniently located offices to assist property owners.
