Per F.S.196.202, property to the value of $500 of every totally and permanently disabled person who is a bona fide resident of this state shall be exempt from taxation.  For non-homestead property, applicants must provide proof of Florida residency in addition to the requirements listed below.

In order to receive the totally and permanently disabled exemption, you must provide at least one of the following proofs of disability:

• A certificate from a professionally licensed Florida physician; or
• A certificate from the United States Department of Veteran affairs.

The deadline for filing all exemptions is March 1st.  After the exemption has been filed for and granted, you will receive an automatic renewal of exemption annually as long as the eligibility requirements are still being met.
