Value Adjustment Board
The Clerk of Circuit Court serves as the Clerk to the Value Adjustment Board (VAB). The VAB consists of two County Commissioners, one School Board member and two citizen members and makes the final decisions regarding appeals of assessed valuation of property and homestead, widow(er)s and disability exemptions, denial of agricultural (greenbelt) classifications and portability issues. The Clerk is responsible for receiving VAB petitions, scheduling hearings, all administrative paperwork, and notifying petitioners of the decisions of the VAB.
Petitions can be obtained from the Hernando County Clerk of Circuit Court www.hernandoclerk.com, the Department of Revenue www.myflorida.com/dor/property or the Hernando County Property Appraiser www.co.hernando.fl.us/pa. There is a $15 petition filing fee, which helps defray the expenses associated with VAB functions. In instances where a single, joint petition is filed, an additional $5 fee shall be charged for each added parcel included on the joint petition. All filing fees are non-refundable. Petitions must be received in the office of the Clerk to the Value Adjustment Board by the filing deadline (see "When to File Your Petition" on the Petitioner Information Sheet). Postmarks will not be considered.
