Welcome to Homestead Exemption online filing. My office is pleased to provide this service to new homeowners in Palm Beach County.
Homestead Exemption can provide significant property tax savings, and this interactive system will walk you through the qualifications and application process. Many other exemptions are also available through our office. At this time, we ask that qualified seniors, disabled veterans and other disabled persons visit us in person to file for those additional exemptions.

The Property Appraiser’s Office is currently accepting 2020applications. The deadline for 2019 Homestead Exemption was MARCH 1, 2019.
The E-File process now allows for taxpayers who have recently purchased their property to file for Homestead Exemption, even if their deed has not been recorded and/or uploaded into our database. Simply begin the process by requesting a PIN and follow the simple instructions. Please know your Homestead Exemption Application will be in a Pending status until your deed is recorded and transferred into our database.
