A:
In Florida, if you're facing a dispute over residential property taxes, there are professionals who can provide assistance. Typically, real estate attorneys or tax attorneys with experience in property tax law can offer guidance and representation in such disputes.
You can also seek assistance from a certified public accountant (CPA) who has experience with property tax issues. They can help you understand the specifics of your tax assessment and advise on possible avenues for dispute.
It's important to first review your property tax assessment notice and understand the basis for the dispute. Whether it's an incorrect property valuation or another issue, having a clear understanding of the problem is crucial.
If you decide to challenge the assessment, the process usually involves filing an appeal with your local county property appraiser's office. This must be done within a specific time frame, typically within 25 days of receiving your assessment notice.
Remember, deadlines and procedures for disputing property tax assessments are strict, so timely action is important. Consulting with a professional can help ensure that your dispute is handled effectively and within the legal guidelines.
