Florida tangible tax.
An unexpected bill. A missing return. An account that should be closed.

What brought
you here?
Choose the issue that sounds
most like yours.
One tax problem can involve several different offices and records.
The Property Appraiser handles the assessment and filing record. The Tax Collector bills and collects the tax. A delinquent account can also involve a collection contractor. Before assuming the bill is simply “wrong,” review how the assessment was created and what was filed for the tax year involved.
Check the filing history
Was a DR-405 filed for the year at issue? Was it timely? Was the return accepted and supported by an asset schedule?
Check the assessment
Identify the assessed value, whether it appears estimated, and whether the account received the tangible personal property exemption.
Match the next step
The correct next step may be filing, providing records, updating business status, communicating with the Property Appraiser, or addressing the tax bill separately.
Gather the records that explain the account.
A useful review usually starts with the tax year, the notice, the assessed value, and the filing history.
- Tax bill, collection notice, or warrant notice
- TRIM / proposed property tax notice
- Prior DR-405 returns and asset schedules
- Business closure, sale, or move information
- Asset purchase, disposal, and original-cost records
