FAQ
If you fail to timely file for the exemption, you waive your entitlement to the exemption for the year.
Homestead Exemption: Every person who has legal or equitable title to real property in the State of Florida and who resides thereon and in good faith makes it his or her permanent home is eligible to receive a homestead exemption of up to $50,000. The first $25,000 applies to all property taxes.
Homestead exemption is $25,000 deducted from your assessed value before the taxes are calculated plus an additional homestead exemption up to $25,000 applied to the assessed value above $50,000. The additional exemption does not apply to school taxes.
Claiming homestead exemption in Florida requires the homeowner to (1) meet residency requirements, (2) file an application with the county property appraiser's office, (3) provide proof of primary residence, and (4) annually verify continued eligibility for the exemption.
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.
Automatic Renewal If there have been no changes to the property or changes in ownership or use, and the homesteaded property is still your primary residence, your Homestead Exemption will be automatically renewed each year on January 1st.
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.
Your homestead and most other exemptions will automatically renew every year, unless you notify our office that you are no longer eligible. If you move, you must file a new homestead exemption application for your new residence.
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS You must own AND occupy the home as your PERMANENT residence prior to January 1st of the year for which you are applying 2. You must be a US Citizen or permanent US Resident and a Florida resident as of January 1st 3.
Every person who owns and resides on real property in Florida on January 1st and makes the property his or her permanent residence is eligible to receive a Homestead Exemption up to $50,000. The first $25,000 applies to all property taxes, including school district taxes.
