Learn more about how you can utilize the homestead exemption to save money.

Living in the Sunshine State as a homeowner comes with a fantastic perk–the Homestead Exemption. If you're a full-time resident in Florida and own your home, this exemption is a golden opportunity to save on your annual property taxes while protecting your home's value. The Homestead Exemption offers two major benefits:

1. Reduced property taxes. It lowers the assessed value of your home, resulting in a significant reduction in your annual property taxes. Saving money while investing in your home–now, who wouldn't want that?

2. Value protection. The exemption also serves as a shield against skyrocketing property values. Your home's value won't increase by more than 3% annually, providing stability and peace of mind.

To be eligible for this fantastic tax-saving opportunity, you need to be a full-time Florida resident and own your home by the end of 2023. If you meet these criteria, you're ready to apply for the Homestead Exemption. Even if you've been a homeowner for several years and haven't applied for the exemption, don't worry–it's never too late. You can start enjoying these benefits anytime. So, why wait? Apply now and keep more money in your pocket.
