Which document shows how much taxes would be if proposed budget changes are made?

• A. TRIM notice
• B. Tax bill
• C. Assessment notice
• D. Tax receipt

Answer: (A)

The key idea is the TRIM notice. TRIM, which stands for Truth in Millage, is sent by the local property appraiser before the final budgets are set. It shows the proposed millage rates and the estimated property taxes if those budget changes are adopted, giving you a preview of what your tax bill could be. This is different from the actual tax bill (the amount due after rates are finalized), the assessment notice (property value), or the tax receipt (proof of payment). So the document that shows how much taxes would be if proposed budget changes are made is the TRIM notice.
