How much does the Florida homestead exemption save?

Florida's homestead exemption removes up to $50,000 of assessed value (a first $25,000 against all taxes, a second $25,000 above $50,000 that excludes school taxes), plus a CPI 'Save Our Homes' cap. That removes about $50,000 of value, saving roughly $380 a year on the Florida median home at the 0.76% median effective rate. Your saving scales with your local rate.

Who qualifies for the Florida homestead exemption?

In general, you must own the home and use it as your primary residence (owner-occupied) as of the assessment date. File the homestead application with your county before the deadline. Confirm details with the Florida Department of Revenue.

Florida Homestead Exemption Calculator 2025

A homestead exemption lowers the property tax on your primary residence. Florida’s median effective property-tax rate is 0.76% of home value — on the Florida median home ($359,200) that is about $2,730 a year (WalletHub ‘Property Taxes by State in 2026’ (U.S. Census Bureau ACS, collected 2026-01-29)).

Florida’s homestead exemption removes up to $50,000 of assessed value (a first $25,000 against all taxes, a second $25,000 above $50,000 that excludes school taxes), plus a CPI ‘Save Our Homes’ cap. Because that removes about $50,000 of market value before the rate applies, it saves roughly $380 a year on the Florida median home.

Enter your home value below. The estimate uses the Florida median effective rate, so it is a starting point — your actual bill depends on your county’s millage and assessment. Senior, veteran and disability relief is additional. Everything runs in your browser; no value or personal data is transmitted.
