Appealing Your Assessment

Appealing Your Assessment Understanding Your Assessment Each August, the Property Appraiser of Miami-Dade County mails a Notice of Proposed Property Taxes (TRIM Notice) to property owners. After TRIM Notices are mailed, our office begins what we refer to internally as the "interview period." During this time, property owners are encouraged to contact us to review and discuss their assessment or exemption concerns. This is an opportunity to go over the details of your TRIM Notice with our staff and resolve any discrepancies or questions you may have—often without needing to take further action. You're also welcome to reach out outside of this period, at any time during the year, to speak with us about your property's information. Contact Us for a Preliminary Review Call us at 305-375-4712 Submit an inquiry through our Contact Form Our team aims to respond within 3–5 business days.
