Florida $5,000 disabled Veteran property exemption

Florida provides a $5,000 property-value exemption for a qualifying resident former service member with at least 10% disability from misfortune or wartime service and a discharge under honorable conditions. Combat-related disability is not required, and qualifying property need not be a homestead. Eligible unremarried surviving spouses may also qualify.

Why this result appeared

No personal scenario was used. This neutral catalog view does not imply that you qualify.

Manual requirements

  • County property appraiser application, residency, wartime-service or misfortune path, and filing deadline.
  • Confirm at least 10% qualifying disability and the government disability certificate under §196.24. The entered personal service-connected rating alone does not determine the statutory misfortune or surviving-spouse pathway.
  • Confirm qualifying property ownership with the county appraiser; a homestead is not required for §196.24.
  • Confirm the government disability certification and any unremarried-surviving-spouse pathway separately with the appraiser.

Suggested application steps

  1. Open the official source and confirm the current requirements.
  2. Gather the listed records and apply with the administering agency.

Documents to consider
