'Homestead Exemption'
Buying a House in Tampa? Hurry, Or You Will Miss Out On Homestead Exemption
Filed under: Buying a House in Tampa, Homestead Exemption, Hyde Park Real Estate, Luxury Homes in Tampa, MLS Listings in Tampa, MacDill AFB, Moving to Tampa, Real Estate News
The Latest News in Tampa Real Estate, Buying a Home in Tampa or anywhere in the World!
We are in the “end of year crunch” with buyers who are trying to close on a home in Tampa before the end of the year. WHY? It’s all about getting the “Homestead Exemption”!
Florida Law allows for up to $50,000 to be deducted from the assessed valuation for a primary residence, which can significantly lower your property tax bill for a home in Tampa, or any city in Florida.
For example, If your home is “assessed” for $300,000, and it is your primary residence, once you file for a “homestead exemption”, your property tax bill will be based on $250,000, not $300,000.
Once you purchase a home in Tampa, in order to qualify for the Homestead Exemption, you must file an appication with the property appraisers office. You need only file once, and must reside in the home, on January 1, of the first year you are claiming the Homestead Exemption. JANUARY 1, 2010….YOU MUST RESIDE IN THE RESIDENCE BY THIS DATE, IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FOR 2010. Many lenders are “backed up” and cannot close your loan in 30 days, especially if you are missing any documentation for your loan application. Read my latest article on “Buying a Home in Tampa in 30 days”! In Hillsborough County, in order to qualify for the Homestead Exemption, you must file your application prior to March 1, 2010.
You can download the forms, here, and then see the list of County offices where you can file the application for the Homestead Exemption.
Don’t wait…you will find long lines as it get’s closer to the deadline!
It’s a buyer’s market in Tampa! I can help find the perfect home in any Tampa neighborhood!
