Apply for property tax exemptions by March 1

Okaloosa county property appraiser homestead exemption 2022

OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. — The Okaloosa County Property Appraiser’s Office currently is accepting applications for property tax exemptions for the 2022 tax year.

The deadline for filing an application for all exemptions, including new applications for homestead exemption for the 2022 tax year, is March 1, 2022.

Florida statutes provide several ad valorem property tax exemptions which will reduce the taxable value of a property.  The most common real property exemption is the homestead exemption.  Application for these exemptions must be made by March 1 of the year for which you apply.

The initial application must be made in person at the property appraiser’s office.

Failure to apply for an exemption by March 1 constitutes a waiver of the exemption for that year. You as the property owner would then have to wait until the following year to apply.

There are provisions within the statutes to allow for a late filing of applications for extenuating circumstances.

After the original application has been filed and approved, most exemptions are renewed automatically by the property appraiser. This automatic renewal helps to ensure you do not lose your exemption simply because you failed to renew one year.

However, there are some exemptions that must be renewed annually by the property owner.
