Hey there Hannah! Since I don’t live in this place, I can’t claim it as a homestead. :(. But others may be eligible for this stuff. Thank you!

I’m sure you’re aware of this but I found something called a Homestead Exemption when googling ways to lower property taxes.

Just going to put that out there incase it’s relevant/helpful to anyone browsing :)

From my understanding, each county has different processes and forms. So you’ll prob need to search around the internet for people that have appealed before in your location and talked about it. Sometimes there are also small law firms that will negotiate taxes on your behalf 9and then take a portion of the money saved). The probelm is if your case isn’t large enough they may not want to take it for only a few hundred in profit.
I’m not sure how *city* taxes work. I believe the county handles the appraisals, not the city.

Sweet! This was my first time – so it might be worthwhile googling other tactics and success stories to get more ideas!
Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Wow – I didn’t know Florida was that expensive for property tax!

WHAT?! Talk about backfire. Thanks for the additional tip. Will be sure to proceed with caution.

SWEET! Pay it forward –> tell another local friend your story and get them saving $$ too.

The pandemic is horrible, but there are certainly some benefits to having no in-person processes like this. Quick and easy!
