HOW TO CHALLENGE THE APPRAISED VALUE OF YOUR HOME

Proposed tax notices were just sent out to Palm Beach County residents. The Clerk’s office will accept appeals for property tax appraisals through September 16.

You can challenge market value, classification or an exemption by petitioning the county’s Value Adjustment Board (VAB). Board Members are two county commissioners, one school board member, and two citizen members. They approve and hire special magistrates to settle disputes.

The VAB is not affiliated with the Tax Collector or Property Appraiser. Go to www.mypalmbeachclerk.com and use myVABsystem to file your petition online, schedule hearings and submit supporting materials, or call 561-355-6289 for more information. Forms can also be submitted in person or by mail. Filing fee is $15. To submit in person, go to the Clerk’s Governmental Center or branch locations. To submit by mail send to 301 North Olive Avenue, Room 203, West Palm Beach FL 33401.

FORBES picked the best US cities to invest in and West Palm Beach came in 5th!

NOW is the time to buy. With many new developments going up, get in early! An uber golfing community is planned, Banyan Cay, a new city, Westlake, will have four builders creating communities, one of which will have 4000 units. Luxury Country Clubs like Ibis, Breakers West, Ironhorse, and Bayhill which uses PGA National courses and has a very nice public course across the street. Condo buildings are going up in various areas with midrise units and one complex with small condos for people who come on business for the weekends or for short trips – better to be in your own home than a hotel. Uber luxury condos are going up along the Intracoastal Waterway. Lots of properties available… going fast… 561-302-3388 for listings emailed as soon as we hear from you! Text OK.
