YOU CAN FILE NOW FOR A 2013 HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION!
You can file today for 2013 exemptions. This includes homestead, disability, widow/widower, granny flat, portability, deployed military and non-profit exemptions. If you miss the March 1, 2013, deadline to timely file to any exemptions, Florida law allows you to "late file" for 2013 exemptions until September 18, 2013. Note: Per Section 196.011(8), Florida Statutes, we cannot accept any exemption late applications once "late filing" deadline closes. To apply for a 2013 homestead, simply click here to use our online Homestead Application system. To apply for other exemptions, visit our Download Forms page to find the appropriate application. Questions? Please contact our Customer Service & Exemptions Division at 954.357.6830. Note: Due to a quirk in state law, pre-filing before January 1, 2013, is not permitted for the low-income senior exemption.
