Homestead Exemption – What is It? Do You Qualify?

The State of Florida offers homestead exemption, which is a wonderful tax savings program on your property, if certain qualifications are met. For more details and to see if you qualify for this exemption and any others, contact your Florida county property appraiser.

Below are Central Florida’s County Property Appraisers’ websites to help get you started.

• Orange County Property Appraiser – www.ocpafl.org
• Seminole County Property Appraiser – www.scpafl.org

If you don’t live in Florida, make sure you contact your county or municipality governing office for your property to see if your state offers homestead or any other exemptions. And if so, see if you can qualify for any of them.
