I authorize this agency to obtain information to determine my eligibility for the exemptions applied for. I qualify for these exemptions under Florida Statutes. I own the property above and it is my permanent residence or the permanent residence of my legal or natural dependent(s). I understand that under section 196.131(2), Florida Statutes, any person who knowingly and willfully gives false information to claim homestead exemption is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment up to 1 year, a fine up to $5,000 or both. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have read the foregoing application and the facts in it are true.

Only persons indicated on this application as residing owners and providing herein their social security number and Florida residency proofs will be the recipients of the homestead exemption benefit if this application is granted.

The property appraiser has a duty to put a tax lien on your property if you received a homestead exemption during the past 10 years that you were not entitled to. The property appraiser will notify you that taxes with penalties and interest are due. You will have 30 days to pay before a lien is recorded. If this was not an error by the property appraiser, you will be subject to a penalty of 50 percent of the unpaid taxes and 15 percent interest each year (see s. 196.011(9)(a), F.S.). For special requirements for estates probated or administered outside Florida, see s. 196.161(1), F.S.

The information in this application will be given to the Department of Revenue. Under s. 196.121, F.S., the Department and property appraisers can give this information to any state where the applicant has resided. Social security numbers will remain confidential under s.193.114(5), F.S.

The information entered above will be used as an Electronic Signature.

Notice: Unless otherwise provided by law, an electronic signature may be used to sign a writing and shall have the same force and effect as a written signature (Ref. 668.004, Florida Statutes).

By clicking the Submit Application button below you are acknowledging and agreeing to the statements above.
