Marty Kiar, Broward County Property Appraiser’s Office, will be mailing the TRIM (proposed tax) Notices in August this year. This is NOT a tax bill but shows your property’s 2026 Just/Market Value, exemptions, and proposed taxes as set by the taxing authorities listed on the notice. The TRIM Notice is your opportunity to review your 2026 Just/Market Value and ensure you are receiving all the tax-saving exemptions you are eligible for.

Florida Statutes require our office to use January 1 as the date of assessment each year.  The 2026 Just/Market Values are based on the market data from 2025 with January 1, 2026 as the date of assessment.  The Property Appraiser’s Office does not set or collect property taxes.  If you have questions about the proposed tax rates, the contact information and public hearing dates for the individual taxing authorities are listed to the right of each agency name on the TRIM Notice.

Here are some questions that you may be asking.
