Florida Homestead Exemption
Document supplies

Organizing your homestead exemption documents

Applying means gathering ownership, residency and identification records, and keeping the copies afterwards. These are the ordinary supplies people use for that, linked to Amazon search results. This page earns a commission on some purchases.

Affiliate disclosure

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The links on this page go to Amazon search results and carry our Amazon Associates tracking ID. If you buy something after clicking one, Amazon pays this site a small commission. It costs you nothing extra, and we do not pick products in return for payment from any seller.

That is a financial interest, and you should weigh what is below knowing it. Nothing here is a recommendation of a particular brand or product.

What you will actually need to keep

The documents the county property appraiser asks for are listed on our how to apply page, and they vary by county — confirm with yours. Nothing below is required to apply. These items only make it easier to keep what you submit and what you receive in one place.

Scanning copies

A scanner lets you keep a digital copy of what you submit. Phone cameras also work for this; a scanner is a convenience.

Folders and storage
