Homestead Exemptions are NOT Transferable Homestead Exemption does not transfer from property to property. If you had this exemption last year on another property and moved, you must file a new application for your new residence. Notify the Property Appraiser to cancel the exemptions on your former home. Property purchased during last year may show qualified exemptions of the seller. The sellers' exemptions will not carry over to this year; you must apply for your own exemptions!
Making a Timely First Application You can now file for Homestead Exemption all year around. There are two filing periods. "Pre-Filing" for the next year (for owners who purchased properties after January 1 of this year): March 2 to December 31. "Traditional" Filing Period: January 1 to March 1.
Homebound persons and other qualified individuals with disabilities who cannot readily leave their home to visit one of their offices may also file for a Homestead Exemption. Please call: 954.357.6035 to arrange for a visit from our Homebound Outreach Program.
