Value Adjustment Board

Value Adjustment Board

The Walton County Value Adjustment Board (VAB) provides an independent forum for property owners to appeal their property value or the denial of an exemption, classification, or tax deferral. Each county in Florida has a Value Adjustment Board. The Walton County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller serves as Clerk to the VAB. The Board is composed of two County Commissioners, one School Board member, one citizen member appointed by the County Commission, and one citizen member appointed by the School Board.
