Broward County Offers a Senior Exemption for persons 65 and older that adds an additional $25,000 exemption if the total household income does not exceed the statutory limit, which changes yearly with inflation.
The State Controller's Property Tax Postponement Program allows homeowners who are 62 and over and who meet other requirements to file for a postponement. For more details on this program, please visit the State Controller's website.
The protected amount is called the “homestead exemption.” All homeowners automatically have a homeowner's exemption, which protects part of their equity from involuntary sales (foreclosures). Recording a declaration of ownership extends this protection to voluntary sales.
Homeowners can check their eligibility, apply for property tax relief, and obtain information in several additional languages at CaMortgageRelief. For assistance, please contact (888) 840-2594 or info@camortgagerelief.
To claim the exemption, the homeowner must make a one-time filing with the county assessor where the property is located. The claim form, BOE-266, Claim for Homeowners' Property Tax Exemption, is available from the county assessor.
Please Note: We are currently accepting E-file applications for the tax year 2025 only. To be eligible for homestead exemption, you must be a permanent resident of Florida, who owns real property as of January 1 of the year in which you are applying.
