What is a Denial
A “denial” refers to the process by which the Property Appraiser’s Office denies an applicant’s applications for certain tax exemptions, such as homestead, veterans, or senior-related benefits, as well as agricultural classifications.
When a person has been notified of an exemption denial by registered mail, they have until 25 days after the mailing of their TRIM notice to file an appeal with the Value Adjustment Board (VAB). There is no filing fee for applicants who have been denied a homestead exemption application unless the denial is for a late file. If the petitioner is appealing a denial of an application that was filed late (after March 1), a nominal filing fee is due.
