Value Adjustment Board

The Value Adjustment Board (VAB), created by Florida Statute 194.015 is an independent forum for property owners to appeal property values or denials of exemptions, classifications, or tax deferrals.  The VAB has five members - two county commissions, one school board member, and two citizens - and makes all final decisions.  Special magistrates conduct hearings and recommend decisions.
