Welcome to the Volusia County Property Appraiser Website

The Notices of Proposed Property Taxes, also known as TRIM (TRuth In Millage), were mailed on Friday, August 16 and are available on our website. We understand that these notices can be confusing, so our office has created a tool which gives an in-depth explanation of the different columns, values, rates and what they mean.

While you are reviewing your notice, take a look at your property's value and any exemptions or classifications that you have. If you believe that the value assessed is not accurate or you feel you are entitled to an exemption or classification that is not reflected on your notice, please call or stop by one of our four offices. If we cannot resolve the issue, you may file a petition for adjustment with the Value Adjustment Board (VAB). For more information about the VAB or how to file a petition, click here. The deadline to file a petition is September 10, 2019.

On the back of your notice under the Taxing Authority Hearing Information section, there are dates, times and locations for each public hearing associated with your property. This is when the taxing authorities adopt their budgets and tax rates. Our elected leaders want to know what you think about the taxes they are proposing. You may attend any or all of these meetings and get answers to any questions you may have.

As always, please do not hesitate to call or visit any one of our four offices. if you have any other questions.

Sincerely,

Larry Bartlett
Volusia County Property Appraiser
