Marisol's Priorities

Efficiency

The Miami-Dade Office of the Property Appraiser is the financial vein for the county. Revenues from property taxes account for almost 40% of Miami-Dade County’s $11.7 billion dollar budget. We must bring the office into the 21st century by improving internal communication between systems to ensure departments are working cohesively, avoid waste of taxpayer dollars, and provide easy access and comprehensive information to individual property owners or their representatives while providing outstanding customer service.

Accessibility

The Office of the Property Appraiser should be easily accessible to residents who have questions and concerns regarding their property taxes. Too many Miami-Dade residents have difficulty traveling Downtown or to our South Dade offices – residents have to navigate traffic, pay for parking, or depend on public transportation. As Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, Marisol will work to establish satellite offices throughout the county so taxpayers will be able to access offices near where they live or work with ease.

Leadership

As someone that is civically engaged in our community, Marisol will bring a bright, new, and refreshing perspective to the Miami-Dade Office of the Property Appraiser. Her years of community involvement provide a clear and concise understanding of the issues our county residents face. As Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, Marisol will be a bridge-builder by communicating regularly with county leadership, municipalities, and homeowners across the county.

Customer service

As a Property Appraiser, Marisol has met the families, elderly homeowners, tenants, real estate and tax agents, small business owners and farmers who rely on the Property Appraisers’ office. She’ll work to make sure their needs are met in a timely, fair, and equitable manner.

Transparency

Many taxpayers are not aware of the tax savings available to them. They don’t know or understand the issues that impact their property values. Marisol will promote education campaigns to taxpayers and real estate industry professionals so they understand the benefits available and how to avoid pitfalls.
