Real Estate Taxes are one of the highest operating expense in the operation of your property or business. You can lower this expense by appealing the assessed value of your property(s). Now a day, your dollars are safer in your "wallet" than in the hands of the government. PROPERTY TAX EXPERTS, INC. has the professional know-how, the experience and the ability to achieve a successfull appeal.

A successful appeal is the end result of the pairing up with you the property owner and Property Tax Experts, Inc. Together we can create a case with the collection and analysis of the evidence (rent rolls, tax returns, appraisals, photographs, etc) and then presenting the evidence neccessary to conclude with a successful appeal before the Special Magistrate ("judge").

I emplore you, as the property owner to come and participate at the actual hearing, as you know your property better than anyone else. The Special Magistrates does appreciate the presence of the property owner. Many times your presence and in-depth knowledge of your property does translate into a successful appeal.

PAYING PROPERTY TAXES

The County Tax Collector mails out the annual tax bills on the first week of November. You can pay you taxes anytime between November and March 31st of the following year. Generally, if you pay your real estate taxes in November you can enjoy a 4% discount off of the gross amount of the taxes due; December payment allows you a 3% discount off of the gross taxes and likewise in March there is a 0% discount if paid. April 1st, real estate taxes become delinquent.

THE BEAUTY OF THE APPEALS PROCESS:

As long as you are on appeal (it does not matter whether your hearing is in November or June 15th) you do not have to pay your taxes until you have a hearing before the Value Adjustment Board's Special Magistrate. If you paid the taxes before April 1st and you had a successful hearing on July 5th you will receive a refund check for the difference between what you paid in real estate taxes and the adjusted amount of taxes based on the commensurate reduction in assessed value. If you did not pay your real estate taxes until after a successful conclusion, then the Tax Collector will send you an adjusted tax bill that you must pay, within 30 days. If you do not pay within 30 days, then interest and other penalties will apply. 

If the appeal is unsuccessfull and you did not pay your taxes beyond April 1st; the Tax Collector Office will send you a new bill reflecting the delinquency status, including interest and penalties.

PROPERTY TAX EXPERTS, INC. URGES ALL PROPERTY OWNERS TO PAY THEIR TAXES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND NOT TO WAIT FOR A SPECIFIC OUTCOME OF AN APPEAL, BEFORE PAYING THEM.

INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS:

Taxpayers who wish to pay their real estate taxes by making partial payments (an amount less than the full amount of taxes due) can do so by submitting a partial payment plan with the Tax Collector Office prior to the tax bill being mailed out in last week of October or 1st week in November.  Once you agree or elect to participate in the periodic or partial payments plan, by making the first payment, you are required to continue particpating in the program for the entire tax year. Your participation in this program waives your rights to receive applicable discounts granted by Florida Statute. Balance must be paid by March 31 to avoid delinquent status and applicable interest and fees that are added.
