February Presentations
Tangible Personal Property Tax Return
In the State of Florida, business owners are required to file a Tangible Personal Property tax return listing all their business assets. These tax returns are due to the Property Appraiser by April 1st. To learn more, watch this brief video.
If additional time is needed, a request for an extension must be submitted by April 1st using the “Extension Request” feature under Quick Links located on our website's homepage.
New Homebuyer Timeline
When buying real estate property, you should not assume that the property taxes will remain the same. Whenever there is a change in ownership, the assessed value of the property may reset to the full market value which may result in higher property taxes. Our New Homebuyer Timeline handout illustrates this scenario. In addition, using our Property Tax Estimator tool will help you PLAN AHEAD for the financial impact.
We aim to raise awareness so that new homebuyers can plan for the financial impact. Letters will be mailed soon to new homebuyers who purchased from a previous owner that had a significant tax savings through the Save Our Homes benefit. To learn more, watch this brief video.

Attention Parents!
Did you know that while you have homestead exemption on your home, you can "co-own" your adult child's property and they can still file for their own homestead exemption? Due to the rising cost of property ownership, it's not uncommon for parents to "co-own" a property with their adult child. While the parents own another home and receive the homestead exemption benefit on their home, the adult child may file for homestead exemption on the "co-owned" property.
