Florida Homestead 2022 Property Exemptions – It Is Not Too Late to Apply
Posted by Denise Stewart on Tuesday, June 7th, 2022 at 10:14am.
If you own a home (House, townhouse , condo, mobile home) and qualify for homestead exemption in the State of Florida, you can still apply for homestead exemption.
The timely deadline to apply for any 2022 exemption was March 1; however, applicants can still late file until September 19, 2022. If you both owned and made the property your permanent residence as of January 1, 2022, you can still apply for 2022 Homestead Exemption and any other exemptions you may qualify for. You can easily apply for Homestead Exemption online at https://web.bcpa.net/bcpaclient/#/Homestead as well as view all the other exemptions available to qualified applicants. But do it now!!!
Both Homestead Exemption and the Low-Income Senior Exemption automatically renew each year. If you were receiving Homestead Exemption in 2021 on your current home, you do not need to reapply. If you were also receiving the Senior Exemption in 2021 and your adjusted household gross income for 2021 did not exceed $32,561, this exemption has automatically renewed and you do not need to do anything additional. If your 2021 income exceeded $32,561, please notify the Broward County Exemption Department at exemptions@bcpa.net so we can remove the Senior Exemption for the 2022 tax year.
Quarterly Tax Payment Installment Plan
While the Broward County Property Appraiser’s Office does not set or collect taxes, the office receives many calls from residents inquiring about installment tax bills and their recently approved exemptions. Broward County’s Records, Taxes & Treasury Division is responsible for the billing and collecting of property taxes.
For property owners on their installment payment plan, the first two installment payments (June and September) are based on the previous (2021) tax year. This means residents who have been approved for 2022 Homestead Exemption or other exemptions will not see these showing on either the June or September installment bills. The final two installment bills (December and March) will be adjusted to include any 2022 exemptions or changes to the property’s taxable value. The deadline to apply for Broward County’s Installment Payment Plan was May 1, 2022. Should you have any questions regarding the payment of property taxes, their office can be reached at (954)831-4000 or by email to revenue@broward.org
