<\/strong>A: It is almost time for TRIM (Truth in Millage) notices to be sent out to property owners. It\u2019s important to keep in mind that over the past eight years, property values in St. Johns County have increased more than 170 percent, which translates to higher taxes even without a tax increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: TRIM is the most important document a property owner will get in St. Johns County. They will be mailed by our office on Aug. 16 and are also available online (www.sjcpa.us) as of that date. Within the mailing, property owners will receive a copy of the State of Florida Taxpayer\u2019s Bill of Rights and a list of exemptions in addition to the TRIM notice. The TRIM notice also contains the date and time of the budget hearing for each of the taxing authorities, so property owners can attend to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: The TRIM notice shows the market value, the assessed value and the taxable value of your property for 2023 and proposed for 2024. It will also show any exemptions for the property. Make sure you check your TRIM notice for accuracy as to values and exemptions.The taxes are listed by taxable authority and will show what the taxes would be if the county made no changes to the budget. This is called the \u201crollback rate,\u201d essentially what your taxes would be this year to allow the county to collect the same amount of money as last year. TRIM will also show the proposed taxes if the proposed budget is passed; this is what would be on the tax bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: When the TRIM notice is mailed, a 25-day clock starts. If the taxpayer has any discrepancy with the Property Appraiser\u2019s Office, they should contact us to discuss. If we can\u2019t come to agreement, the taxpayer can file an appeal with the Value Adjustment Board. It is very important to do this within the 25-day window, because if not, a taxpayer will lose his or her right to appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
