What to check on your notice
If your 2026 notice shows a higher value than last year, ask why. The typical South Palm Beach home lost 12.2% 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
South Palm Beach 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.

- Bring comparable sales near January 1 of the assessment year, since Florida values are as of that date.
