Welcome to the Duval County Value Adjustment Board (VAB)

 

The filing deadline in Duval County for most 2024 Value Adjustment Board petitions was Tuesday, September 10, 2024.  The deadline was listed on your Notice of Proposed Taxes (“TRIM” Notice) on the bottom right-hand corner.  The VAB does not accept post-marked petitions as on time.  Any petitions filed after Tuesday, September 10, 2024, will be considered late-filed petitions and must be either hand delivered or mailed in to the VAB office with the required “Good Cause” explanation, verifiable documentation and filing fee.  Online filing is not available for late-filed petitions.  The VAB office address for hand-delivered or mailed petitions is:  117 West Duval Street, Suite 430, Jacksonville, FL  32202.  Please contact VAB staff with any questions at (904) 255-5124.
