In mid-Aug of each year, the Orange Co Property Appraiser sends a Truth in Millage (TRIM) notice to all property owners as required by law. This notice is very important - look for it in the mail! You'll recognize it by prominent lettering "DO NOT PAY - this is not a bill."
The TRIM notice tells you the taxable value of your property. Taxable value is the just value less any exemptions.
The TRIM notice also gives you information on proposed millage rates and taxes as estimated by your community taxing authorities. It also tells you when and where these authorities will hold public meetings to discuss tentative budgets to set your millage tax rates.
Fees not related to your property value may also appear on your TRIM notice for garbage collection, roads, lighting and other government services. These fees are set by your taxing authority and are not affected by any change in the value of your property.
