What is a TRIM Notice?
In 1980, the Florida Legislature passed the “Truth In Millage” (TRIM) law. The law is designed to inform you of your rights as a taxpayer. Our office mails TRIM Notices to every property owner of record each year in mid-August. To protect your rights as a taxpayer, the TRIM Notice tells you: 1. The proposed market value and assessed value of your property this year as compared to last year; 2. Tax-saving exemptions, if any, on your property this year and last year; and 3. The tax amounts and special fees proposed by each of your various taxing authorities (School Board, County Commission, City Commission, etc.); a comparison of the proposed new taxes versus last years taxes; and the locations and dates of the public hearings where you can voice your views on the proposed rates. If you believe the proposed TAXES are too high: Exercise your rights as a citizen by speaking out. Attend the public hearings listed on the TRIM Notice. Let your elected officials hear from you!
