Florida property tax basics
Homestead exemption
If the home is your permanent residence on January 1, you can apply for homestead. It takes up to $50,000 off the taxable value. The first $25,000 applies to all of your taxes. The second $25,000 applies to everything except school taxes.
Save Our Homes cap
Once you have homestead, the taxable value of your home can go up no more than 3 percent a year, even if the market goes up faster. When you buy a new home, the value resets to the new price.
Plan for a higher first bill
A new buyer often pays more than the seller did, because the seller’s value may have been capped for years. Ask us for an estimate before you make an offer.
Key dates to remember
| January 1 | The date your home must be your permanent residence to qualify for homestead that year. |
| March 1 | Deadline to file for homestead and other exemptions with your county property appraiser. |
| August | You receive a notice in the mail showing your proposed value and tax rates (called a TRIM notice). |
| November 1 | Tax bills go out. Pay in November and save 4 percent. December saves 3, January saves 2, and February saves 1. |
| March 31 | Last day to pay without penalty. Unpaid taxes become delinquent on April 1. |
