Instructions for Filing a Petition:

Indicate in the petition your preferred method of correspondence with our office. The VAB will send ALL correspondence about your petition (including notice of hearings and the magistrate's recommended decision to the board) to you ONLY via the preferred method indicated on your petition.

If your preferred method of correspondence is via email, please update any electronic mailbox filters to allow emails from vab@mypalmbeachclerk.com to prevent them from going to the spam or junk email folders.  Also, please periodically check your inboxes to prevent missing emails about hearing dates or other documents and meetings regarding your petition(s).

Select and complete the appropriate online petition for your needs and click submit.  Once you have completed your petition you will be provided with a transaction number and a password.  Once you have your transaction number and password you may access this site at any time to track the status of your petition.

Important Payment Information:

Please remember that your petition is NOT CONSIDERED FILED until the appropriate filing fee has been received by the VAB. Make checks payable to Board of County Commissioners.  The mailing address is 301 N. Olive Avenue, Rm. 203, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. 

The non-refundable petition filing fee is $15.  The filing fee is per property and not per petition; however, you must submit a separate petition for each exemption requested.  For example, if you are filing a petition for Homestead Exemption and Widow Exemption, you would need to submit 2 separate petitions.

*IF APPROPRIATE FEES ARE NOT PAID, THE PETITION SHALL BE DEEMED INVALID AND SHALL BE REJECTED.*
