How property tax appeals work in Duval County
Florida property owners have a right to challenge their assessed value under Florida Statutes §194.011. In Duval County, petitions are filed with the Value Adjustment Board (VAB), administered by the Clerk of Court, the Duval PA (Duval County Property Appraiser) handles the underlying valuation.
The petition window is 25 days after the TRIM notice is mailed. For Duval County, the 2026 mailing date is not yet published. We will confirm your exact deadline within 24 hours of your TRIM notice arriving, and it is printed on the notice itself. The filing fee is up to $50 per parcel.
Duval (consolidated Jacksonville-Duval government) handles all city/county filings through one PA. Coastal beachside properties and Riverside historic district homes are frequently overassessed.
The strongest petitions include 3-5 comparable sales from the last 12 months in your immediate neighborhood, adjusted for square footage, year built, and condition. Many counties use the Axia e-filing portal for VAB submissions, your kit works with both online and paper filing.
