The Florida homestead exemption
The The Homestead Exemption. Up to $50,000 of assessed value may be exempt when a property becomes the owner's permanent residence by January 1. The same applies when the permanent residence belongs to a dependent. All taxes receive the first $25,000 exemption. Only non-school taxes receive the additional amount.
Application method: Send Form DR-501 (Original Application for Homestead and Related Tax Exemptions) to the property appraiser serving your county. Possible methods include in-person delivery, mail, or online submission where offered.
March 1 is the filing deadline for that tax year.

After that mailing, you have 25 days to send a petition to the county Value Adjustment Board clerk challenging a home's assessed value. Holding an informal conference will not extend this deadline.
First hearing: The County Value Adjustment Board (VAB) has five members in each county. Special magistrates often hear cases first.

Additional Florida property tax rules to know
- Moving between Florida homesteads may allow owners to transfer (port) all or part of the accumulated Save Our Homes assessment difference to their new homestead.
- A homestead exemption received by mistake can result in a lien, back taxes for up to 10 years, a penalty of 50 percent, and annual interest of 15 percent. The appraiser's clerical error is an exception to those consequences.
- For Miami-Dade, the 2025 homestead exemption is $50,722 after the new annual inflation adjustment to the exemption's second, non-school part.
- After March 1, a Miami-Dade homestead application is late but may be accepted through the TRIM Notice deadline. It may also need a Value Adjustment Board petition.
