Miami-Dade property tax appeals flood in from condo associations

With the deadline to appeal property taxes a week away, local appeals firms are hard at work, with many more cases coming from condo associations seeking appeals on behalf of unit owners.

With condo values dropping steeply, many condo associations are filing class appeals on behalf of those unit owners seeking a review of their assessments.

A state law allows condo associations to seek such group appeals, and the cost is less in bulk.

If the association files the tax appeal on behalf of multiple unit owners, it pays a smaller fee of $5 per unit, while an individual filing fee is $15.
