File your Homestead Exemption by March 1st

When someone owns property and makes it his or her permanent residence or the permanent residence of his or her dependent, the property owner may be eligible to receive a homestead exemption up to $50,000. The first $25,000 applies to all property taxes, including school district taxes. The additional exemption up to $25,000 applies to the assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000 and only to non-school taxes. (see section 196.031, Florida Statutes)​​​​

Homeowners: If you purchased a home after January 1st, of the past year, and reside on the property as your permanent residence on or after January 1st, you may qualify for savings on your tax bill by filing for homestead exemption.

Under Florida law, failure to file for homestead exemption by March 1st constitutes a waiver of the exemption privilege for the year.
