Florida Disability Property Tax Exemption (Homestead)
Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Florida Disability Property Tax Exemption (Homestead) in its Miami, FL research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Florida provides a full property tax exemption for homesteaded residences owned by paraplegic, hemiplegic, or other totally and permanently disabled homeowners who use a wheelchair for mobility or who are legally blind, provided the gross household income does not exceed $37,712 (2026 limit). Additionally, any permanent disability qualifies for a $500 exemption with physician certification, which can be stacked with other exemptions.
Income limit for full exemption: $37,712 gross household income in 2026. For partial ($500) exemption, any permanent disability with physician certification, no income limit.
