Have you applied for the Homestead Exemption?

Aug 30, 2007

Florida State Statute 196 - Exemption
All legal, Florida residents are eligible for a Homestead Exemption on their homes, condominiums, co-op apartments and certain mobile home lots. The Florida Constitution provides this tax-saving exemption on the first $25,000 of assessed value of an owner occupied residence.

You are entitled to a Homestead Exemption if, as of January 1, you have made the property your permanent home or the permanent home of a person who is legally or naturally dependent on you.
