How can I benefit from the property tax exemption? Until March 1, Florida homeowners have a deadline to claim their property tax exemption. A privilege that comes in handy when everything around you goes up and up, including home insurance.
How does the property tax exemption work?
One of the sources of financing for local governments is the tax on housing. To do this, each year, the value of the property is assessed, and then the tax exemptions are subtracted from the taxable value of the property. The higher the exemption, the less tax will be paid on the property.
To do this, the state of Florida offers a tax exemption of up to $50,000 of the taxable value of the home.

Once there, you will need to enter your property\’s folio number and have the following information handy: your social security number, your date of birth, marital status, Florida driver’s license number, and automobile registration, ( both reflecting the subject property address) and, for U.S. citizens, a voter registration record reflecting the property address.
