Dear Petitioner,
The Clerk's Office is responsible for processing your VAB petition. Our office cannot

Property Appraiser in support of your petition. Completed petitions may be submitted in
person at any location of the Clerk of Court Office; by standard mail to the Monroe County
Clerk of Court, VAB, P.O. Box 1980, Key West, FL. 33041-1980 or by overnight delivery to the
Monroe County Clerk of Court, VAB, 500 Whitehead Street, Suite 101, Key West, FL. 33040.
There is a $15.00 filing fee, per parcel, which must accompany your petition unless you
are appealing disapproval of an Ad-Valorem Tax Exemption, including the denial of homestead
exemption, by the Property Appraiser. Make checks payable to the Monroe County Clerk of
Court.
Once your petition is received it will be processed; copies will be forwarded back to you
and to the Property Appraiser's Office for consideration. Note: it is very important that you
provide your proper mailing address to avoid any processing delays.
The Clerk's Office is responsible for scheduling the Organizational and Final Meeting of
the Value Adjustment Board, and Special Magistrate Hearings. After the Organizational Meeting
is held sometime in late September/early October, you will be notified when your hearing date
is scheduled. In the meantime, you may correspond with the Property Appraiser's Office
directly & find that you no longer wish to proceed. Should you wish to withdraw your petition

the address listed above. (Please do not fax or e-mail any additional paperwork with regard to
your petition as this would overload both systems).
The three types of Special Magistrate hearings are Exemption/Classification, Tangible
Personal Property and Valuation. Each type of hearing has rules and procedures required by
law. You are encouraged to learn about them before your scheduled hearing. Particularly in
Valuation Hearings regarding the proposed assessed value of your property, you must follow
the Rules of Procedure and Evidence in order to have your petition fully considered by the
Special Magistrate. Detailed information about the procedures of the Value Adjustment Board
