Property Tax Tip for Florida Homeowners

If you’re buying a home or already own one in Florida, filing a Homestead Exemption could reduce your property tax bill and help protect your home.

The process is simple, but it’s important to understand eligibility, deadlines, and how it affects tax assessments.

We’ve highlighted key takeaways from the Florida Realtors® article so you and your clients stay informed:

• How the Homestead Exemption works
• Who qualifies
• When and how to file

Don’t Miss the March 1 Deadline!

If you own a home and it’s your primary residence, you may be eligible for the Florida Homestead Exemption — which could help you save up to $750 every year on your property taxes and cap future assessment increases.

Why this matters:
Lowers your annual property taxes
Helps protect against rising property assessments

Filing deadline is March 1

You may qualify if you purchased your home and made it your primary residence by January 1.
