What to check on your notice
If your 2026 notice shows a higher value than last year, ask why. The typical Brownsville home lost 3.5% over the same stretch. A higher number can still be right for a specific home, for example after a remodel, but the property appraiser should be able to explain it.

Deadline and where to file
Brownsville values are set by the local property appraiser. File your VAB petition on or before the 25th day after the property appraiser mails the TRIM notice. TRIM notices go out in mid-August in most counties. Exemption, classification, and deferral disputes get 30 days.
Reading this in fall 2026? The 2026 window has closed: TRIM notices went out in mid-August and the 25-day petition deadline fell in September. A late petition is only accepted if the board finds good cause (extraordinary circumstances) before a hearing is scheduled. Your next realistic chance is 2027: values are set as of January 1, 2027, TRIM notices arrive around August 2027, and you then have 25 days from the mailing date printed on your notice. You can ask the property appraiser for an informal conference at any point, which does not replace the petition.

Building a Brownsville case
A citywide index shows the trend. Your case needs your house. Brownsville is part of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach metro, but your evidence should be local. Sales a few streets away usually beat sales across the metro.
- Send your evidence list and copies to the property appraiser at least 15 days before the hearing; the appraiser must send you theirs, including the property record card, by the same deadline.
