About the Miami Property Market
Miami is a city located in Miami-dade County, Florida. Every property inside the Miami city limits is assessed by Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser, which applies Florida property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Miami property values are set at the county level, the $420,000 county median home value and 1.02% effective tax rate apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Miami home is over-assessed have the right to file a petition directly with Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser before the 25 days from TRIM notice deadline.
Florida allows the assessor to defend or adjust the assessed value during a petition, so Miami homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.
Miami Property Market Context
Miami sits within Florida's broader property tax landscape as a city, and local assessments reflect both state rules and county-level mass appraisal practices.
Florida market character
Florida has Save Our Homes, which caps annual homesteaded assessed value increases at 3% or inflation, whichever is lower. Non-homesteaded property (second homes, rentals, commercial) is capped at 10% and has no such protections, making those parcels prime candidates for protest.
How Florida handles petitions
Florida homeowners petition the county Value Adjustment Board (VAB). Filing a petition does carry a theoretical risk of an adjustment, so well-prepared evidence matters. Most cases are resolved informally with the Property Appraiser first.
When to file in Miami
TRIM notices arrive in mid-August. Petition deadline is 25 days later — typically mid-September. The window is short and strict.
Common Miami Property Types
Miami homeowners typically file protests across these property categories:
Single-family homes
The most common residential type and the dominant protest category.
Condominiums
Common in denser parts of the city and near employment centers.
Townhouses
Attached-home neighborhoods in newer subdivisions.
Small multi-family
Duplexes and 2-4 unit buildings assessed as income property.
Commercial
Retail, office, and small commercial along major corridors.
ProtestMax supports all of the above property types in Miami. Each petitionpacket is tailored to the property's classification and uses comparable sales from Miami and surrounding Miami-dade County neighborhoods.
