The Homestead Exemption is a valuable property tax benefit that can save homeowners up to $50,000 on their taxable value. The first $25,000 of this exemption applies to all taxing authorities. The second $25,000 excludes School Board taxes and applies to properties with assessed values greater than $50,000.
$5,000 Widow/Widower Exemption The widow/widowers exemption reduces the assessed value of your property by $5,000. This provides a tax savings of approximately $100 annually. Any widow/widower who owns property and is a permanent Florida resident may file for this exemption.
A filed tax deferral affidavit keeps homeowners from losing their homesteads because of delinquent property taxes. A pending sale to foreclose on the homesteads tax lien will also cease as a result of filing a tax deferral affidavit.
To apply for the homestead exemption, you must complete and submit Form DR-501 to your county property appraiser by March 1 of the tax year.
