Florida property taxes. Clear answers. Less guesswork.
Buying a home, moving or questioning an assessment? Find the guide that matches your situation. Understand the paperwork before you start, and get help when you need it.
New home? Start with homestead.
Your homestead application is about the property you own and use as your permanent residence. Start with the filing guide, then review the eligibility and document checklist. Knowing what your county needs helps you avoid missing information and unnecessary back-and-forth.
Moving? Understand portability.
Portability concerns an eligible Save Our Homes assessment difference from a previous Florida homestead. It is separate from applying for the exemption on your new home. Our portability guide and comparison page explain why movers should review both.
High assessment? Review your TRIM notice.
Your proposed property tax notice contains more than a possible tax bill. It also helps you identify values, exemptions and the deadline for an assessment challenge. Read the notice guide, then learn what information can support a VAB appeal.
Filing problem? Identify the issue first.
A pending application, a missing exemption and a written denial are different situations. Keep your submission records and any notice from the county. Our late or denied application guide explains the questions to ask and why the date on a notice matters.
Use the source for your county
Statewide guides explain the general process. Your county property appraiser and VAB clerk provide local instructions, forms and notice-specific deadlines. Check those instructions before submitting paperwork or relying on a date.
