NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – The deadline for Nassau County homeowners to appeal their property tax assessments is Sept. 13.
All Florida homeowners received Truth in Millage Rate (TRIM) notices in mid-August.

Colton Pace, CEO of Ownwell, a company that helps property owners reduce their property taxes, has helped hundreds of homeowners save money through the appeals process. He said this is a critical opportunity for homeowners to potentially reduce their property tax burden.
“We encourage everybody to thoroughly review this tax assessment notice that they receive in the mail. Make sure they have your bed and bath right. Make sure they have your square footage right. In Florida, it’s really important to make sure you have the under air square footage right,” Pace said.
Property taxes in Florida are calculated based on the tax-assessed value, usually lower than the market value due to property tax exemptions. Pace says homeowners might be overpaying when the assessed value exceeds the actual market value.
If you are a homeowner in Nassau County and disagree with your TRIM notice, you have until the end of Friday to appeal.
The deadline for Duval and St. Johns County has already passed. The deadline for Clay County is next week.
