Staying current with your official property records is not just a best practice—it’s a necessity. Whether you’ve moved recently or just need to redirect your property-related correspondence, the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office offers a convenient way to update your mailing information through their E Address Change Form.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know about the form, when to use it, and how to ensure your address is updated correctly.
What Is the E Address Change Form?
The E Address Change Form is an online request tool provided by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office. It allows property owners to update their mailing address for one or more properties listed in Palm Beach County records.
This form is designed to ensure that all property-related documents—such as tax notices, exemption renewal forms, and valuation updates—are mailed to the correct and most up-to-date address.
Why You Might Need to Use It
There are several common scenarios where using the E Address Change Form is necessary:
- You’ve moved to a new residence and want your tax documents sent to your new address.
- You’re a landlord and want correspondence directed to a property manager or business office.
- You own multiple properties and need mail sent to a central mailing location.
- Your address on file is outdated or incorrect, and you want to correct it before tax season.
An accurate mailing address helps prevent delays in receiving time-sensitive information and avoids issues such as missed tax bills or lapses in exemptions. Estimate your transferable savings using our portability savings calculator.

Locate the Form

Complete the Form
You will be prompted to provide:
- Your Property Control Number (PCN), which can be found on your tax bill or property records.
- The property address as currently listed.

Multiple properties? You may need to submit a separate form for each one unless the form allows batch updates (check instructions on the page).

Once submitted, you’ll receive a confirmation message. It may take a few business days for the change to be reflected in the system.
Important Notes and Considerations
- Only the property owner or an authorized representative can request an address change.
