Have You Filed for Your 2025 Florida Homestead Exemption Yet?

Have You Filed for Your 2025 Florida Homestead Exemption Yet?

If you own a home in Florida and use it as your primary residence, you may qualify for the
Florida Homestead Exemption, which can significantly reduce your property taxes. This
exemption removes a portion—or even the total amount—of your property’s value from taxation,
making it an essential benefit for homeowners.

Why Apply for the Florida Homestead Exemption?

• Lower Your Property Taxes – The exemption reduces the taxable value of your home,
  resulting in substantial savings.
• Protection from Property Tax Increases – The exemption includes a Save Our
  Homes (SOH) cap, which limits annual increases in assessed value.
• Available Only for Primary Residences – To qualify, the property must be your
  permanent, primary residence as of January 1, 2025.

Deadline to Apply: March 1, 2025
If you are a new homeowner in Florida, filing for your Homestead Exemption should be a top
priority. By submitting your application before the deadline, you can take full advantage of this
valuable tax-saving opportunity.
