Homestead Exemption Outreach Begins this September

Oct. 14, Nov. 18 and Dec. 9 Jupiter Community Center • 1:30- 2:30 pm

Filing for the homestead exemption on property taxes is a benefit to being a Floridian. Although this exemption only needs to be filed once for each property and will then carry over annually, it is important for firsttime filers to know the requirements and deadlines for this tax exemption that can significantly reduce their property tax. Staff from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’ s Office will be on hand at the Jupiter Community Center throughout the fall to help residents submit their Homestead Exemption applications and answer any property valuation questions. The sessions will be held at the Jupiter Community Center from 1:30 to 2:30 pm on the dates listed above. Applications for Homestead Exemptions are accepted by mail or in person at any time throughout the year. However, in order for the exemption to be considered for the upcoming tax year, the application must be received by March 1 of the qualifying year. Visit jupiter. fl. us / Homestead for more information.
