Lakeland FL Homeowners - How To Save More Money On Homestead Exemption


Save Money on Homestead ExemptionAttention Lakeland FL Homeowners! If you purchased a home in 2011 as your primary residence, filing deadline for homestead exemption is March 1st, 2012. First-time homebuyers filing for homestead exemption must apply in person and bring their recorded deed and proof of residency, such as Florida drivers’ license, Florida voter registration, Florida vehicle registration or resident alien card. Applicants filing for any exemption are required to present their Social Security cards. In addition if you sold your Lakeland Fl home and purchased another home in Lakeland, you also must apply for homestead exemption in person.


There is more money to save in addition to the $25,000 homestead exemption, such as:


Amendment 10 also known as “Save our Home”

Widow or Widower exemption ($500.00)

Veterans Exemption ($5,000)

V-7 Exemption

Total Exemption Of Homestead From Exemption

Disability Exemption ($500.00)

Senior Exemption

Conservation Exemption

Assessment for Property used for Land Conservation

Deployed Military Exemption

Property Entitled to Tax Exemption


For additional information about these additional savings, please click here.  At one of my recent closings this year my client informed me that she did not know about the additional savings she qualified had I not told her about the disability exemption.
