IMPORTANT HOMESTEAD TAX EXEMPTION NOTICE
On May 10, 2012, Act 2012-313, became law, which amends the Homestead Exemption laws. This new law changes the income requirement for exemption, and requires verification of all exemptions for age 65 and older, or RETIRED because of permanent and total disability. Note that you must be retired due to disability to qualify.
Previously, those 65 and older have been required to have an income of $7,500 or less to be totally exempt, and for those who were disabled, there was no income limitation. The new law changes the income limit for BOTH exemptions. Homeowners age 65 or older, or RETIRED due to permanent and total disability must now have a net annual taxable income of $ 12.000 or less, as shown on the owner and spouse’s latest Federal Income Tax Return, to be totally exempt.
