How property tax appeals work in Citrus County

Florida property owners have a right to challenge their assessed value under Florida Statutes §194.011. In Citrus County, petitions are filed with the Value Adjustment Board (VAB), administered by the Clerk of Court, the CitrusPA (Citrus County Property Appraiser) handles the underlying valuation.

The petition window is 25 days after the TRIM notice is mailed. For Citrus County, TRIM notices typically mail around Aug 14, 2026, putting the 2026 petition deadline at approximately Sept 8, 2026. The filing fee is $15 per parcel.

Florida property owners may petition the county Value Adjustment Board (VAB) using Form DR-486 within 25 days of the TRIM notice mailing date. The filing fee is $15 per parcel. Petitions can usually be filed online through the County Clerk's office.

The strongest petitions include 3-5 comparable sales from the last 12 months in your immediate neighborhood, adjusted for square footage, year built, and condition. Many counties use the Axia e-filing portal for VAB submissions, your kit works with both online and paper filing.
