Property tax in Miami-Dade County, Florida
- The Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser puts a value on every parcel each year, and that figure — plus proposed rates from each taxing authority — shows up on the annual TRIM notice.
- Filing for a homestead exemption on a primary residence trims taxable value right away, and it also switches on the Save Our Homes cap that limits future annual growth.
- Once the home sells, its assessed value resets to whatever the market says it's worth, and the outgoing owner's Save Our Homes cap goes with them.
- An informal chat with the property appraiser is one route to challenge a valuation; a formal petition to the county's value adjustment board is the other.

Frequently asked questions
How is property tax calculated in Miami-Dade County?
The Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser fixes your assessed value each year, and county, city, school board, and any special districts each bill their own rate against it, with a full breakdown on the TRIM notice before rates go final. A homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes cap both trim what a qualifying owner-occupant ultimately owes.
How do I appeal my Miami-Dade County assessment?
An informal sit-down with the property appraiser's office often resolves things quietly; if not, a formal petition goes to the county's value adjustment board, and the TRIM notice spells out the filing date.
Does Miami-Dade County offer a homestead exemption?
Yes — Florida's homestead exemption reduces the taxable value of a qualifying primary residence, and it also activates the Save Our Homes cap, which limits how much the assessed value can grow each year regardless of market swings.
What is a TRIM notice in Miami-Dade County?
TRIM stands for Truth in Millage, and it's the annual notice the property appraiser sends showing your proposed assessed value alongside the rates each local taxing authority is considering, before anything is finalized. It's worth reading closely rather than filing away unopened, since it's your window to object before the budget process wraps up.
