About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Florida Disabled Veteran Total & Permanent Property Tax Exemption in its Miami, FL research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Veterans who are Florida permanent residents, honorably discharged, and certified by the VA as having a total and permanent service-connected disability are fully exempt from all ad valorem taxes on their homesteaded property. This exemption survives to a surviving spouse if the spouse maintains homestead and does not remarry. Application requires VA letter confirming total and permanent disability status.
Total exemption, no property taxes owed on homesteaded property. Surviving spouse retains the exemption. Must apply by March 1 with VA certification letter.
