2025 Homestead Exemption
All qualified Florida residents are eligible to receive a Homestead Exemption on their homes, condominiums, co-op apartments, and certain mobile home lots. To qualify for Homestead Exemption, you must own and make the property your permanent residence on January 1 of the year for which you are applying for this valuable exemption. Pursuant to Florida law, all assessments and exemptions are based upon the status of the property on January 1. If you acquired the property as your permanent residence in 2024 and have not applied for Homestead Exemption, you can apply for 2025 exemptions at any time – there is no need to wait until 2025 to file your exemption application. You can easily apply online at https://web.bcpa.net/bcpaclient/#/HomesteadExemption
The timely deadline to file for all 2025 exemptions is March 3, 2025. You must make the property your permanent residence by January 1, 2025 to qualify; however, you have until March 3 to timely file your application with the our office. The late filing deadline for all 2025 exemptions is September 17, 2025.
Once approved, your Homestead Exemption automatically renews each year provided there is no change in the ownership or use of the property. If you have already applied and been approved for Homestead Exemption at your current property, you do not need to reapply for this exemption. You will receive a Homestead Exemption renewal card next month to keep for your records.
While Homestead Exemption is the most common exemption, there are additional exemptions available to qualified applicants. Here is the link the all the additional exemptions for your review: https://web.bcpa.net/bcpaclient/#/Homestead
