The 2018 Senior Exemption adjusted gross income limitation is $30,174.
January 1st is the beginning of the period in which you must file applications for any property tax exemptions for which you may qualify. Applications for Homestead and any other exemptions are taken in the Property Appraisers Office. The various exemptions available are explained on our Exemptions page. If you have any questions about exemptions, please give us a call at 386-758-1083.
This is also the time to file for agricultural classification of property. If you are using your property primarily for a good faith commercial agricultural purpose, you should file an application for the agricultural classification.
The application period runs through March 1st.
Automatic renewal cards for exemptions and agricultural classification have been mailed recently. If you had an exemption or agricultural classification last year and no change has been made in your residency or mailing address, then you should receive an automatic renewal card.
If you receive a renewal card and you are still eligible for the exemption and/or classification, you don�t need to do anything. Just keep the card for your personal records.
If you receive a renewal card for any exemption or agricultural classification for which you are no longer eligible, it is your responsibility to notify us. You may notify us by calling 386-758-1083.
If you had an exemption or agricultural classification on your property last year and do not receive a renewal card from us by January 15th, you should contact us.
If you own tangible personal property you may need to file an annual return with us between January 1st and April 1st of each year. Tangible personal property is generally property used in connection with a business or agricultural activity. For more information you can refer to our TPP page. You can also call us at 386-758-1083 with any questions.
