What is Homestead Exemption? If you own your home, reside there permanently and are a Florida resident as of January 1, you may qualify for homestead exemption. Homestead can reduce your assessed value on your home as much as $50,000, saving you approximately $750 annually.
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 that would decrease the property's taxable value by as much as $50,000.
However, to be eligible for the homestead exemption, the owner must be a permanent resident of Florida and have a present intent of living at the property. Additionally, the owner must apply for the exemption. Generally, a married couple is entitled to only one homestead exemption.
Eligibility Requirements: Homeowners must be age 55 or better (For married couples, only one spouse must be 55 or better to qualify.) Homeowners must have sold their former residence within 2 years of purchasing the replacement property. Both the former and replacement properties must be the owner's primary residence.
If you own and occupy your principal place of residence on January 1, you may apply for a Homeowners' Exemption that will exempt $7,000 of your home's assessed value from taxation.
Persons who are over-65 years of age or disabled persons may file for additional exemptions and a ceiling on school, county and city taxes for their residential homestead if they become 65 during the year. Over-65 persons should apply for this exemption at the appraisal district office.
The spouse who holds the title of the property is responsible for applying for homestead exemption. Whether the house is owned through joint ownership with rights of survivorship, tenancy by the entirety, or another ownership type, Florida law preserves the rights of the owner's spouse.
