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.

Property taxes are based on the assessed value of your property. The Homeowners' Exemption reduces your property taxes by deducting $7,000 from your property's assessed value before applying the tax rate, and given the one percent statewide property tax rate, this generally equates to $70 in property tax savings.
Florida Statutes define property tax exemptions that are available in the State of Florida. Application for these exemptions must be made between January 1st and March 1st of the year for which you apply. The initial application must be made in person at the Property Appraiser's office.
Homeowners' Exemption applications are not available on-line. This form is automatically mailed to new owners of single-family residential property by the Office of the Assessor. If you did not receive an application within 90 days of recording your deed, please call the Assessor's Exemptions Unit at (714) 834-3821.
