Straight from the public Florida roll. The estimated saving applies an estimated composite millage to the over-assessment. We adjust comparables for size, age, and location before we say a word about your property — and we never name owners.

The comparable basis

Why this is the lever

Fla. Stat. s.193.011(8)

Under s.193.011(8), Just Value must be net of the usual and reasonable costs of sale (customarily ~15%). Where an assessment meets or exceeds the gross price comparable properties actually sold for, it cannot reflect net-of-cost just value, and the Value Adjustment Board can reduce it.
