TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – A heads up for Florida homeowners – the annual deadline to file for a Homestead Exemption is just days away.
The Leon County Property Appraiser’s Office hosted a food truck roundup at Althemese Barnes Park for the downtown lunch rush to inform homeowners of the March 1 deadline.
Those exemptions can save homeowners hundreds of dollars off their property taxes.
“There are money-saving property tax exemptions available to our Florida residents. Unfortunately, a lot don’t know or believe that they may have purchased them with a home or maybe signed up for them at closing,” Valencia Scott with the Leon County Property Appraiser’s Office said.

Wednesday’s food truck event also doubled as a fundraiser, with a portion of the proceeds headed to the United Way of the Big Bend.
