In 2019, my office improved the Homestead Exemption
Efile module (on our website: www.pbcgov.org/PAPA) and
implemented an online feature which allows you to file for a
homestead exemption online the same day you close on a new
home even without the deed. We also added an online component
for when you’re moving within the state of Florida and filing
for a homestead exemption, you can Efile for portability.
Remember, a homestead exemption can reduce the assessed
value of your property, thereby reducing the amount of property
tax you pay.
In the state of Florida, a $25,000 exemption is applied to the
first $50,000 of your property’s assessed value if your property
Dishes, Glasses, Furniture is your permanent residence and you owned the property on
Jan. 1 of the tax year. This exemption applies to all taxes,
Copies, Fax Service, Notary, US Mail, Stamps including school district taxes. An additional exemption of up
to $25,000 will be applied if your property’s assessed value is
between at least $50,000 and $75,000. This exemption is not
applied to school district taxes.
Portability is transferring all or a significant portion of your
cap savings, up to $500,000, from a home with a homestead
exemption to a new home within the state of Florida that
qualifies for a homestead exemption. Homestead exemption
and portability applications must be submitted by March 1
