The Value Adjustment Board (VAB) reviews appeals from decisions made by the Duval County Property Appraiser. VAB jurisdiction includes appeals of property value assessments, exemption denials, agricultural (greenbelt) classification denials, and portability appeals, among others.
The VAB for Duval County consists of five members: two are members of the Jacksonville City Council, one of whom shall be the chairperson, one is a member of the Duval County School Board, and two are citizen members, appointed one each by the Jacksonville City Council and the Duval County School Board. For a list of current members of the VAB click VAB Members. As a quasi-judicial body, this board is not allowed to discuss matters pending before them outside of public hearings and noticed meetings.
