Property Tax Benefits in Florida
Ownership of real estate in Florida, as elsewhere, entails both burdens
and benefits. Burdens, of course, include both property taxes and
protecting neighbors and other members of the public against nuisance or
dangerous characteristics of the land.
Property tax-related benefits of ownership are frequently overlooked.
Among these are exemptions from taxation and special classifications of
property. Some of exemptions and classifications or "exceptions" can
literally eliminate the property tax bill!
For example, did you know that a 100% exemption is available to at
least two types of homeowners in Florida? It's true.
Veterans who were honorably discharged with a service-connected total
and permanent disability are eligible to have the entire value of their
homestead property removed from the tax rolls annually! Their surviving
spouses are entitled to the same benefit.
Civilians with certain disabilities are also eligible to document and
establish entitlement to 100% exemption of homestead property. Any real
estate owned and used as a homestead by a paraplegic, hemiplegic, or
other totally and permanently disabled person who must use a wheelchair
for mobility, or who is legally blind, can establish entitlement to this
valuable exemption.
Information regarding exemptions is available from your County Property
Appraiser. To find out how to contact the Property Appraiser, click on
