FAQ
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.
