Florida homestead exemption
- Florida's homestead exemption takes $25,000 of assessed value off the home for all property taxes, and a second exemption, $26,411 for 2026 and adjusted each year for inflation, applies to assessed value above $50,000 for taxes other than school taxes.
- Save Our Homes limits the yearly increase in a homestead's assessed value to 3% or the change in the consumer price index, whichever is lower, and the limit resets when the home changes owner.
- Apply to the county property appraiser by March 1.
- Amendment 3 on the November 3, 2026 ballot would raise the homestead exemption from taxes other than school taxes.
This is the property tax homestead exemption, not the homestead exemption that protects a home from creditors in bankruptcy.

Does Florida have a homestead exemption?
Florida's homestead exemption takes $25,000 of assessed value off the home for all property taxes, and a second exemption, $26,411 for 2026 and adjusted each year for inflation, applies to assessed value above $50,000 for taxes other than school taxes. The calculator does not subtract it: the rates already reflect the exemptions owners received.
Why might a Florida tax bill differ from this estimate?
The rate is what owner-occupiers in Florida paid on average in 2020 through 2024, as a share of their homes' value. An actual bill depends on the home's assessed value, the levies where it sits and the exemptions its owner claims.
What the calculator leaves out
- The rate is the total real estate tax owner-occupiers reported paying divided by the total value they reported for their homes, not a tax rate set by law.
- The rate already reflects the exemptions, caps and credits typical owner-occupiers received, so the calculator does not subtract a homestead exemption again.
- An actual bill depends on the home's assessed value, the levies where it sits and the exemptions its owner claims.
- Survey estimates for small counties have wide margins of error.
Rates and medians are American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates: taxes owners paid in those years, not 2026 bills.
