Florida Homestead Property Tax Exemption ($50,000)
Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Florida Homestead Property Tax Exemption ($50,000) in its Miami, FL research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Florida's standard Homestead Exemption reduces the taxable assessed value of a primary residence by $50,000 ($25,000 applicable to all taxes, $25,000 applicable to non-school taxes). This lowers the annual property tax bill and also activates the Save Our Homes 3% assessment cap, limiting future increases. Apply once at the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser's office; must be primary residence with homestead by January 1.
The $50,000 exemption reduces the taxable value. At Miami-Dade's millage rate (~$19/thousand), the full $50,000 exemption saves approximately $950/year. Also locks in the Save Our Homes 3% cap on assessment increases.
