Property tax appeal deadlines, by state.

Every state sets its own window to contest a commercial real-estate assessment, and most owners find out only after it has closed. This is the 2026 filing calendar for real property, pulled from the assessing authorities, cross-checked, and kept in one place. Miss the window and you wait a full cycle, paying the higher bill the whole way.

Data direct from tax authorities

Values and deadlines straight from the source, not scraped guesses.

Reserve Tax AI reads assessed values, tax rolls, and appeal windows directly from county assessors and taxing jurisdictions, then keeps them current as rolls certify and notices mail. No paper backlog, no OCR errors, no stale spreadsheets. The same authority-sourced data behind our appeals powers this calendar.

Florida runs on a 25-day clock.

Florida owners first see their new number when the TRIM notice hits in August, then have just 25 days to petition the Value Adjustment Board. It is the tightest, most-missed window in the country, and it is exactly where Reserve is live today.

The Florida timeline
1

Mid-August: TRIM notice mails. The property appraiser sends your Notice of Proposed Property Taxes with the new assessed value. This is the date that starts the clock.

2

25 calendar days: petition window. File your petition with the county Value Adjustment Board, pay the filing fee, and select a hearing type. Most deadlines land in September. File on day 26 and the appeal is denied automatically.

3

Later: evidence exchange & hearing. Evidence is submitted after the petition, ahead of a special magistrate hearing. Reserve Tax Group represents the parcel through resolution.

Window is statewide and strictly enforced. Confirm your county's exact mail date on your TRIM notice.

Deadline FAQ

Questions owners ask.

A petition to the county Value Adjustment Board (VAB) must be filed within 25 days of the property appraiser mailing your TRIM notice (Notice of Proposed Property Taxes). TRIM notices generally mail in mid-August, so most deadlines fall in September. The 25-day window is strictly enforced, filing on day 26 means the petition is denied automatically.
No. Every date here is for real property, land and buildings. Business personal property renditions and appeals run on a separate schedule with different forms and deadlines, and are outside the scope of this calendar.
Some states fix a single statutory deadline; many others start the clock on the day your assessment notice is mailed, which varies by county and sometimes by parcel. Where a state is notice-based, we tag it as such. Always confirm the exact date on your notice or with the local assessor.
In most jurisdictions you lose the right to contest that year's assessment and must wait a full cycle to appeal again, paying the higher bill in the meantime. That is why the window matters, and why Reserve monitors it automatically for every parcel in your portfolio.
No. This calendar is a planning reference built from public statutes and assessing-authority schedules. It is not legal or tax advice, and deadlines change. For a filing decision on a specific parcel, confirm the date with the jurisdiction or speak with Reserve Tax Group.
