This notice includes the proposed taxes to be assessed by each taxing authority, dates of public hearings and the new current Market Value and Assessed Value of your property. Also included are instructions on how to file an appeal petition before the Value Adjustment Board (VAB), if necessary. (If you have questions about your property value, we encourage you to come into our offices and meet with an appraiser at any time to discuss your situation.) The September VAB filing deadline for the current tax year is stated at the bottom of the TRIM Notice. Twenty-five days after the mailing of the TRIM Notices is the last day to file a petition to the VAB.
