Residents of Florida are exempt from paying taxes on the first $25,000 of the assessed value of their property. Hopefully that will be voted to increase to $50,000 come Jan 29th 2008 provided home owners file for the exemption between Jan 1st and March 1st. Contact the Tax Collectors Office for the county in which you reside. Filing need be done only once so long as you continue to live on the property.
