Board member Mr. Sherman raised the proposal during new business, saying earlier hearings could benefit residents who otherwise might wait months for a hearing. \"A lot of the, for example, homestead exemption denials, agricultural classification denials will go out very, very soon by the property appraiser's office,\" he said, and proposed that the board consider scheduling hearings \"midsummer, maybe late summer.\" He noted that doing so would require additional coordination and a potential additional VAB meeting.

Property Appraiser Mr. Regalado told the board the office supports the change if the board is willing. \"Our main mission is to help the residents,\" Mr. Regalado said, adding that earlier hearings would allow staff to give more attention to residents who are not represented by attorneys. He said the property appraiser's office would provide staff and a point person to coordinate the effort, including the deputy property appraiser, legal counsel and chief of staff.

Board attorney Mr. Miyares and other members clarified procedural requirements. The board would need to hold its organizational meeting earlier to ensure special magistrates complete Department of Revenue training and that appointments are in order. Members agreed the initial certification meeting must remain in October because municipalities must set millage rates and complete budget processes; nevertheless, the board indicated it could hold an organizational meeting sooner and schedule a subset of legal cases for earlier hearings.

No formal motion or vote was recorded on a schedule change during the meeting. Members agreed to prepare a proposal for coordinated scheduling with the property appraiser's office and to check availability before implementing an earlier hearings schedule.

Board members also asked that agents representing taxpayers be included in coordination, since agents must align their schedules if they represent appellants.

The proposal remains at the planning stage; the board instructed staff to work with the property appraiser's office to prepare one or more scheduling proposals for consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Miami-Dade County - Value Adjustment Board Meeting - May 30, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board members and the property appraiser discussed holding a subset of Value Adjustment Board hearings earlier in 2025, potentially adding a third meeting to address homestead and agricultural classification denials sooner.","taxTitle","Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",2864,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6544615,"Miami-Dade VAB adopts special magistrate recommendations and certifies 2024 tax rolls",238,357000,595000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3626629-7a495d4888c36b6996cce084a1f4556b&start=357&end=595","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3626629-7a495d4888c36b6996cce084a1f4556b/thumbnail_357000.jpg","/articles/6544615/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Miami-Dade-VAB-adopts-special-magistrate-recommendations-and-certifies-2024-tax-rolls","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544615-eb5296eb51c8ef59049bcca2f85d251f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447965&Signature=jPlkGuSK918WE1OyOCTIOnE9F3PEexoWsSn1bt0BtZcFPzlne6y0NQDLfxQzd4RPlkC8CCQQIQ7TJGgO62lNm3kYjMVeMDH~2Afzd4BFlEO3rcRgP7rpRO8SNIde4poYLFKbOlzN80w5-Cl6jqHwrcYFtQ8uswlPy5QR72IC3AHPnSimRUoySfBaFWPeJU3IaCgSqAbpNNXG75y9mEoPU35yXcVOFrIF38dyebtQjqrxPuXSl0rbktGEvPQTjn8WMCcH~8BXEA1uPmQoXRjbislJ7UJ6ZuDzyWdVlLpGLGF15PtlE91ruFE6bkhvnNuaDW4Lv44BgAmq9CUgM5lKyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami-Dade County Value Adjustment Board adopted special magistrate recommendations, certified the county's final property tax rolls for tax year 2024 and authorized publication of the state tax-impact notice at its May 30, 2025 meeting.
