Appeal Procedures

 A TaxCuts1 petition is your best bet to cut your FL property taxes!  The filing deadline for Value Adjustment Board petitions for most SW Florida's counties expires in early to mid-September. Unless a petition is timely filed (25 days from the TRIM Notice mailing date), an owner will typically lose the ability to challenge tax year values. Lee County's 2025 petition deadline is       9-12-2025. You do not need to wait and should not wait until you receive your TRIM Notice in August, 2025 to start reviewing your 2025 assessment.  leepa.org has the 2025 values listed. 

TaxCuts1's focus is on properties assessed at $1M+ as we limit our caseload to 50 properties per year. HERE ARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING YOUR OWN 2025 VALUE ADJUSTMENT BOARD ("VAB") PETITION ON THE LEE COUNTY CLERK OF COURT WEBSITE:

1) Go to: Filing a Petition | Lee County Clerk of Court, FL 

2) Click on “File A New Petition”

3) Read the “Welcome to the Axia Petition Wizard” instructions

4) At bottom of page click “I agree and wish to continue”

5) Input requested data and pay the $30 per parcel filing fee by credit card

You can also file by mail or in person but the petition must be RECEIVED by

approximate 9-12-2025 filing deadline.

6) After you timely file the petition promptly obtain a 1-1-2025 appraisal or realtor CMA and, if it indicates a value lower than the Property Appraiser, file it online in your VAB file and email it to the Property Appraiser. Then call for an informal meeting with the LCPA. You are "in the game."
