We Value What You Value

What is a Homestead Exemption?The homestead exemption can save you generally between $750–$1,000 in property taxes and is for permanent Florida residents.

A $25,000 exemption is applied to the first $50,000 of your property’s assessed value if your property is your permanent residence and you

owned the property as of January 1 of the tax year. This exemption applies to all taxes, including school district taxes. An additional exemption of up to $25,000 will be applied if your property’s assessed value is between at least $50,000 and $75,000. This exemption is not applied to school district taxes.

HOW DO I APPLY?

You have three options to submit your Homestead application:

› E file at www.pbcgov.org/PAPA

› Complete the application online, print it out and mail it to our office.

› Visit one of our five service centers to file in person.

How is my property valued?The Property Appraiser’s Office appraises the value of all residential, commercial and agricultural proper-ties, and tangible personal property in Palm Beach County. We use a state-of-the-art computer system to continuously process property data from local and industry sources and field inspections. We update property values every year based on market conditions as of January 1.

To determine the value of a residential property, we consider the sale prices of similar homes in the area and what it would cost to replace your home.

For income-producing commercial properties, we determine the value of the property based on its potential to generate revenue. We also review sale prices of similar properties and evaluate what it would cost to replace the property.
