✏️🍎 Back-to-school season is here! 🍎✏️

While students are sharpening pencils and picking out backpacks, our office is staying busy helping keep property records up to date for the community. 🏫🏡

Did you find one of our orange tags on your door? 🟧
Sorry we missed you during our visit!

One of our field appraisers may have recently stopped by your property for one of the following reasons:

📚 Florida law requires us to physically inspect properties every 5 years
🔨 A permit may have recently been pulled for work on your home
🏠 There may have been a recent sale or change in ownership

No homework required! This is all part of our normal process to help keep property records accurate and current.

If you have any questions, give our team a call at 352-341-6600. We are always happy to help!

Wishing students, teachers, parents, and our whole community a successful and safe school year! ✏️🍎

📬 Understanding Your TRIM Notice

🚨The TRIM Notices were mailed to Citrus County property owners last Friday, August 14th!

The image shown is a sample TRIM Notice and is for educational purposes only. Your 2026 TRIM Notice may look slightly different, but the information you're reviewing will be similar.

Today we're looking at the middle section of your TRIM Notice.

This is the only section of the notice that is the responsibility of the Citrus County Property Appraiser's Office. Our role is to determine the fair market value of your property and administer exemptions and classifications. We do not set your tax rates.

Here's what you'll find in this section:
🏡 Market Value & Assessed Value
Compare your property's 2025 and 2026 values.

💰 Assessment Limitations & Savings
If applicable, you'll see benefits such as:

Save Our Homes cap savings
Portability
Agricultural or other property classifications

✅ Exemptions
All exemptions that have been approved for your property, such as Homestead, Disabled Veteran, Widow/Widower, Disability, and others, will be listed here. Be sure to review them for accuracy. If it is left blank, you don't have any exemptions applied for.

📞 Your Appraiser's Direct Contact Information
One of the most valuable features of your TRIM Notice is the direct phone number for the appraiser responsible for valuing your property. If you have questions about your value, give them a call. They're here to explain how your value was determined and answer your questions.

📅 Value Adjustment Board (VAB) Petition Deadline
This section also lists the deadline to file a petition with the Value Adjustment Board if you choose to formally appeal your property's value.

Our goal is to answer your questions before you ever need to file a petition. If something doesn't look right or you simply want a better understanding of your value, please contact us first. We're always happy to review your property with you.

And what a time to join us, TRIM Season! 😅 It’s one of the busiest times of the year, but Brandon walked through the door with a great attitude, a willingness to learn, and a readiness to hit the ground running. We’re excited to have his experience and enthusiasm on our team!

Brandon is pictured with Field Appraisal Supervisor Nic Martin, who is excited to welcome him as the newest member of his crew.
