Fees
There is a $45.00 filing fee for each separate parcel of real property or tangible personal property. There is a $15.00 filing fee for portability petitions.

Multiple Appeals for Same Parcel
If you have more than one appeal, i.e. homestead and a low-income senior exemption, for the same parcel, only one filing fee is required. However, you must fill out a separate petition for each appeal.
