Florida Homestead Exemption 2026: Deadline and Filing Guide for New Homeowners

Published on February 24, 2026 at 6:00 PM

Did you buy a home anywhere in the state of Florida in 2025? 

Don't forget to apply for the 2026 Homestead Exemption, if you haven't already,

the deadline to file is March 1st (which is right around the corner)

If your home was your primary residence on January 1, the deadline to file for the 2026 Florida Homestead Exemption is March 1st. Filing may reduce your taxable value by up to $50,000 and potentially lower your property taxes.

If you’re in Manatee or Sarasota County and need help, reach out 941-920-2018. I'm happy to guide you.
