The start of a new year is always a busy time. If you purchased a home in the prior year, you don’t want to overlook filing for your homestead exemption. Florida currently offers up to a $50,000 exemption for residents who own and occupy their homes prior to January 1, of the current year. So if you bought your home last year, you need to file prior to March 1st to receive the benefit. Many county property appraiser websites have forms available for download along with instructions on how to mail it in. Check below for Central Florida Property Appraisers address and websites.

What you will need to file your Homestead Exemption

  1. Copy of your Warranty Deed
  2. Property Tax Bill (if you received one)
  3. Copy of your Social Security Card *
  4. Copy of your Florida Vehicle Registration *
  5. Copy of your Florida Drivers License *
  6. Copy of your Voters Registration (if you are registered)

* If your spouse is on the deed, you must provide these items for both individuals.
Please contact your county office for exact documentation needed.
