The Additional $50,000 Homestead Exemption for Persons 65 and older (FS 196.075) reduces the assessed value of your property and can result in significant tax savings.
You cannot transfer your homestead exemption when you move from a previous Florida homestead to a new Florida homestead. However, you may be able to transfer all or part of your homestead assessment difference.
To get a homestead deduction on your Florida taxes, you have to fill out an application form, the DR-501, and demonstrate proof of residence by March 1 of the year for which you wish to qualify.
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.
You may also call our office at (954) 357-5579 for assistance with filing for any exemption or to schedule a virtual meeting with our staff.
January 1st of each year is the date when permanent residency is determined, by law. Timely filing period for Homestead exemption starts September 19th through March 1 of the following year (by way of example) 2023. The absolute deadline to file a late file (in this example 2023) is September 19, 2023.
