Appealing a Tangible Personal Property Assessment Understanding Your Tangible Personal Property Assessment Each year, business owners in Miami-Dade County receive a Notice of Proposed Property Taxes (TRIM Notice), which includes the assessment of their Tangible Personal Property (TPP). This includes assets like furniture, equipment, and other items used in the operation of a business. We encourage you to talk to or visit the Property Appraiser first, before the deadline on your Notice of Proposed Property Taxes, for a review of your folio and an explanation of the assessment. You don't have to wait for a deadline or a formal process. We're here to help clarify, correct, or update your account at any time during the year. An assessment may not be contested unless a timely Tangible Personal Property Tax Return is filed. Note: Inquiries must be made no later than the deadline date printed on the notice. Taxpayers may inquire about their assessment in person by going to the address listed on the bottom of their notice.

Land Splits or Groupings You may request to group or split folios with the Property Appraiser of Miami-Dade County (PAMDC) using the Request for Parcel Split/Grouping form. The request must be based on a valid instrument recorded in the public records of Miami-Dade County. Valid recorded instruments include the following: Warranty Deed Special Warranty Deed Quit Claim Deed Plat Waiver of Plat Declaration of Condominium Amendment to a Declaration of Condominium Unity of Title Covenant in lieu of Unity of Title A complete list of requirements and instructions are included on page 1 of the Request for Parcel Split/Grouping form. Please read them carefully before submitting your request. Some Important Information Please submit page 2 along with the signed and notarized page 3 The deadline to file requests for the current assessment roll is July 1st. Requests received after July 1st will be processed for the next assessment year (starting November) due to tax roll and statutory deadlines. Please allow 8-16 weeks for complete processing of the request; including updates to the PAMDC website and GIS Interactive Map. This may be extended due to heavy workloads. Processing time also varies throughout the year due to tax roll production and processing of data for submission to the Florida Department of Revenue and Miami-Dade County Tax Collector (MDCTC). Ensure all taxes due or delinquent have been paid to MDCTC. Parcel splits/groupings processed by PAMDC are for tax roll purposes only and do not imply that the surviving or created parcels comply with local zoning or building requirements. Any change that affects a parcel's characteristic, ownership or use may also affect the parcel's assessed value. If the property is encumbered by a mortgage, it is the property owner's responsibility to seek prior approval from the mortgage company for any legal changes to the property. Submit the completed form and all relevant documents, including recorded documents, surveys, and site plans by email, mail, or fax to PAMDC.
