Florida law requires the reporting of known or suspected abuse, neglect, abandonment, exploitation, or self-neglect of vulnerable adults (elderly or disabled).
(c) Knowingly or willfully abuses an elderly person or disabled adult and in so doing causes great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent disfigurement to the elderly person or disabled adult.
To Report Elder Abuse, call 1.800. 96. ABUSE (1.800. 962.2873).
Yes, most states allow people to remain anonymous when reporting elder abuse to Adult Protective Services and emergency services.

Do I need to re-apply for my Homestead Exemption every year? No, you do not. The Property Appraiser mails out in January an “Automatic Residential Renewal Receipt” to every homesteaded property owner. If you do not have any changes, you can keep the receipt as proof that you are eligible for the automatic renewal.
If you fail to timely file for the exemption, you waive your entitlement to the exemption for the year.
