DID YOU MISS THE MARCH 3rd DEADLINE TO FILE FOR A 2008 HOMESTEAD?

Don't worry. Florida law allows for late filing with good cause for Tax Year-2008 through December 1, 2008. Our office accepts late Homestead applications and helps taxpayers prepare the required petitions to the Broward County Value Adjustment Board (VAB) for all eligible properties. To claim a 2008 Homestead, you must have purchased, be named on the title, and moved onto the property on or before January 1, 2008, and meet certain other residency qualifications of having a Florida driver's license/ID card and a voter card (or recorded Declaration of Domicile) showing the address. For a late application to be granted for 2008, you must file a late filing paperwork with the VAB accompanied by a $15 non-refundable filing fee. To learn more about filing for a valuable Homestead Exemption, please click here or use our online homestead filing system. And, FYI, if you purchased and moved into your home after January 1, 2008, you can pre-file online now for your 2009 homestead exemption.
