Florida Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption

About This Program

Florida offers tiered property tax relief for disabled veterans. Veterans with a VA-certified service-connected disability of 10% or greater receive a $5,000 assessed value reduction. Veterans with a total and permanent service-connected disability are exempt from all ad valorem taxes on their homesteaded property. The full exemption transfers to a surviving spouse who remains in the home. Apply at the Duval County Property Appraiser's office with VA disability documentation.

Full exemption available only with VA-certified 100% total and permanent disability; $5,000 reduction for any 10%+ rating
