Duval County Homestead Exemption ($50,000)

About This Program

Florida's standard homestead exemption reduces the assessed value of a primary residence by $50,000 for property tax purposes, lowering annual tax bills for all qualifying homeowners. The first $25,000 applies to all taxes; the second $25,000 applies to non-school taxes. In Duval County, apply online or at the Property Appraiser's office at 231 E. Forsyth Street, Suite 260, Jacksonville. Save As Is (SOH) assessment cap also applies, limiting annual increases to 3% or CPI.
