What is Homestead Exemption?

The homestead exemption can save you generally between $750 to $1,000 in property taxes each year and is for permanent Florida residents.

A $25,000 exemption is applied to the first $50,000 of your property’s assessed value if your property is your permanent residence and you owned the property as of January 1st of the tax year. This exemption applies to all taxes, including school district taxes. An additional exemption of up to $25,000 will be applied if your property assessed value is between at least $50,000 and $75,000. This exemption is not applied to school district taxes.
